Abstract / Description of output

This exhibition was the culmination of a 1.5 day process in which a group of strangers came together to conceptualise, design, and make seven seats /// chairs /// places to comfortably be together in a possible utopia where all might gather on equal terms.
This was one utopia, grouped together based on theme /// material similarities /// concepts.
We invite you to come to know our chairs, and to think with them.
We invite you to design your own places to comfortably be and include them within the exhibition. We invite you to identify absences and help us to curate them.
We invite you to find your own way to be comfortable.
