"Objects, even the most common, everyday ones tell tales; they become loci for affective states, placemarkers for moments, places, or people. Each piece will have three elements: the object itself, a photograph of the object, and a one-page narrative of its tale."
This event corresponds with the Active Forgetting Workshop on Thursday, May 20th.
