Garden of Memory

What will be passed down to those yet to come?

Story by: Jon Chen, Juliyen Davis, and Billy Theodosatos

Dear Future,

Garden of Memory is only one sprouting leaf in the shape of a story—it is nurtured by the many. It begins sitting around a hearth with children eagerly listening to an elder, speaking to tales not so distant from our possible present. They invite us to plant our own Earthseeds in a sacred grove holding the memories of the past with promises for our future. Together as humans, we can reconnect with our oldest technologies—community, stories, and dreaming.

Love,
The Present
