Today was Trade Market Day and we set up our trading session outside Cape Town College, which kindly enough assisted us with tables (thanks heaps guys!).
By noon the tables and cameras were set and we were good to go.
Objects and stories from Stockholm.
Collecting card being filled in.
Video documentation and footage.
Some valuable insights from the day:
...People were truly positive about the project and several asked for following trading sessions.
...People started to reflect on what wearables and objects they were carrying at the time and what is actually meaningful and valuable to them aswell as for the person receiving the object in return in Stockholm.
...People found stories quite similar to their own which motivated them to trade with that specific person.
...If the person did not have an object to trade at the time, they could trade a secret, a recipe, a skill instead. Realizing this made them reflect even more on their possessions.
We have a number of unexpected and amazing stories to share with you, look out for confirmed exhibition date shortly!
Talk soon!
