INSIDE/OUTSIDE:
A MAP OF SELF AND PLACE
ABOUT.
Inside/Outside: A Map of Self & Place is a handwritten postcard conversation between two writers, across New York City. They explore architecture, boundaries and the symbiosis that exists within a dynamic urban landscape. Through their writing, they map the in-between and uncharted spaces that define not only how permeable identity is, but also that cities and selves are porous. In this mapping of movement through body, thoughts, and space our engagement with one another is fixed within an ever-changing and moving city.
