We held a workshop on Wednesday, October 21. It was a terrific success! We asked participants to answer one question: “Where would you rather be right now?” They drew flags to answer that question.

Below are photos of our participants with their lovely flags.

One question, fifty people

Fifty People, One Question: Brooklyn from Fifty People, One Question on Vimeo.

(So, I guess the video won’t imbed.)
Here is a project that is much aligned with ours; the people involved asked fifty strangers the same question, then recorded their answers. “Where would you like to wake up tomorrow?” The video they created is a really beautiful way to display the responses.

Where would you rather be right now?

This is the question we pose.

If you could be anywhere else but exactly where you are, where would you be?

A location? A time? A memory? A state of mind?

Philadelphia? 1970? In your grandma’s lap, age 3? Content and peaceful, looking toward the future?

Start thinking about it. Start exploring the edges of your imagination and consider whether mere contemplation can transport you to precisely where you’d rather be.

More coming soon.
