TANGIBLE HISTORIES
History lives on through us.
Tangible Histories is a platform for art and activism. Through installing participatory artworks that depict the stories of different locations, we combat the erasure of significant but understated histories that shape our present world.
History is continuous, pliable, and reflective. It mirrors the identity and motivations of power: whose stories, really, are taught and told? We ask passers-by to feel and uncover legacies that govern the reality we breathe. We invite you to explore our ideas and take part in the action.
