Dear friends,

we apologize for having to present our presentation to you in this way, but the circumstances did not favor a face-to-face meeting. It’s okay. I hope you enjoy our presentation and if you can think of any reactions you’d like to give us, you can go to our email (info@abhpp.org) or Slack (if it’s still active).

🪅There are copies of our little publication on your kitchen table. It’s a little gift for you.

We were very happy to meet you, you are wonderful people, and we were very comfortable in your presence. I hope we meet again sometime. Until then, we wish everyone good luck and love…

Our work in Saari includes this text, which can be downloaded in pdf here: Where Whales Swim With Open Mouths , I Sing About The Water Surface. It’s based on our bimonthly observation and listening to this place. This text is only draft. Its resulting design will be presented over the next year (2024). I think this text will give you an accessible form of insight into our way of working and thinking.

We also accompanied the text with this slideshow of photographs documenting our movements.

 

I’ll try to add an audio version of the text to be read by Jin. Maybe you’ll feel more in touch, and you’ll also be able to focus better on the slideshow.

Vava, our elder son, says:

Find a quiet spot and sit quietly.

The bird is in the forest!
