'As custodians and educators, we encourage, cherish and respect lineage through intergenerational connection' (Change Lab, 2019).
This project is about the narrative of objects, their memory and associations, and how they tie generations together. Preserving heirlooms and traditions are what define us. We keep a connection alive by how we value and repurpose the items we hold close. The importance of valuing and preserving our past generations, challenges our sense of connection in today’s throwaway society.
