Pride & Prejudice + Pages in Someone Else’s Survival Guide

Request printable guide

Concept

Personal narratives are powerful tools for building empathy, solidarity, and resilience. This dual installation transforms individual stories into a shared, living archive—while inviting participants to contribute guidance for others navigating similar challenges.

  • Part 1: Pride & Prejudice

    1. Curated personal stories are displayed as posters

    2. Participants respond using colored sticker dots representing different emotions

    3. Multiple reactions can be layered, reflecting complex responses

    Part 2: Pages in Someone Else’s Survival Guide

    1. Participants take a notecard

    2. They write a reflection, affirmation, memory, or piece of advice

    3. Cards are displayed publicly, becoming part of the installation

  • Participants move from reading → reacting → contributing.

    They see their own experiences reflected in others, then leave something behind for someone else. The result is a deeply human exchange: stories that are not just told, but felt, answered, and extended forward.
