" In between the moment."

A textile narrative aiming to facilitate conversations and create resiliency through designing a ceremonial way to self-reflect and recover. Inspired by one of the narratives [What They Took With Them] featured in the Obakki Booklet: A handful of stories, this project focused on engaging the fundamentals of everyday life and bounding individuals in a tremendous post-disaster situation. This project is built upon Emily Carr's DESIS event where they invited the Obakki Foundation and founder Treana Peake in for an experimental storytelling around her work with Refugees in South Sudan. In the 3 months following the initial DESIS talk, the AHOS team held regular meetings to share the documentation they produced and formulate a concept for further distributing the 5 stories they heard at the event. From there, we are given the opportunity to consider and address key elements being tackled by design today through the capacity of textile.
