To start off our team’s discussion of what we want to create, our “2 or more” studio leader Sarah Rothberg instructed us to complete the following line in a PostIt brainstorming session:
People should walk away from this exhibit feeling…
The brainstorming resulted in a lot of adjectives, accompanied by a wide range of calls to action:
- Gratitude
- a sense of hope that a solution is possible if we collaboratively will to solve the problem
- Permission
- Empathy
- No more by-stander effect
… and many more
In a second round we came up with ideas of what elements our exhibition would consist of. The favorites were:
- conversations
- a path or guidance (a metaphor for time)
- an unfinished “thing” you can add to in the end
Our result at the end of that day read:

Let’s see where that takes us tomorrow …
