Identity moves. Culture speaks. Objects remember.
What do objects mean to us beyond their material form? How do they speak across time and distance—between makers and holders, past and future?
The stories and objects in this first collection were shared by people from different places, cultural and personal contexts. Each contributor offers their unique insight into how objects take on deeply personal significance and resonate with a sense of self and belonging as we move from one place to another — revealing the richness of cultural heritage, diversity, and migration in our interconnected world.
Through immersive sound stories and photography, we invite you to explore and reflect on the emotional, intellectual, spiritual, and social connections that people have to objects. Whether ordinary or extraordinary, objects embody meaning through symbol and form, giving shape to the narratives that define our lives.
Take a moment to listen, to reflect, and to join a shared conversation about heritage and the human experience.
