Inspired: 03/2017
An evolving, monthly selection of ideas and projects that are, well, inspiring!
- A library lover’s dream project? Researchers take over the Morgan in an attempt to bottle that nostalgic library smell.
2. Raising awareness of the devastating impact of landmines in war-torn countries with a pop up exhibition and beacon-driven app at the New Museum.
3. How did I miss this? Surely the project of a lifetime. The Dalai Lama and Dr Paul Ekman, the world’s leading researcher in the field of emotions, come together in Stamen’s design crit room to define an East meets West informed Atlas of Emotions.
4. A campaign to encourage reading on a mass scale in New York City:
5. A 25-year long confessional to take place in New York’s Greenwood Cemetery with artist Sophie Calle and Creative Time.
6. A swan song for this elegant robot, as it journeys back to The Bowes Museum…bring it to my place instead, please?!
7. Channel your inner sage and pass on some wisdom to a Fortune Cookie collection at MOFAD. A fun social campaign to tie in with their Chow: Making the Chinese American restaurant exhibition. I’m looking forward to checking this out next week!
8. Bayeté Ross Smith (@BayeteKenan) is a photographer, multimedia artist and filmmaker embedded at The New York Times in a collaboration with the independent documentary showcase POV. Here’s what they made with ‘nine American citizens who describe their struggle to belong in a nation that both embraces and rejects them.’
