The two-week-long Smithsonian FolkLife Festival, which attracts more than 1 million visitors to the National Mall, displays exhaustive research on the cultures of three specific locations. As one of the 2001 featured locations, New York City posed a special challenge–the representation of a vibrant living culture where the mixing of many different cultures together into a small diverse city creates a larger cultural ecosystem. Reminiscent of a subway car wrapped in fluorescent construction mesh, Memory Maps was a system of enormous street maps of New York City. This system allowed visitors to share their stories of the city by anchoring memories to specific locations.

Public spaces have secret meaning for people. Most of these associations are positive or neutral; others are decidedly negative. These negative associations often include memories of the last time a person has seen someone who they no longer speak to, such as a former friend, an ex, or an estranged family member. These types of place-associations are often kept secret even from friends, and can bring up bad feelings unexpectedly.

“The Last Time I Saw…” is a Providence RI-specific book/art project that serves as a forum and memorial for these types of memories. It documents both the stories themselves, and the exact places in Providence where they occurred.

The final product will involve a free book, a tour, and an interactive map on this website.

Our gear tells secrets. Woven into everything we make are hidden messages and codes most people can’t see. Edoc clothes break across the traditional categories of street, skate/surf, and classic by creating a new category that spans our entire line: Covert. Every piece of gear is a trapdoor into a hidden world. Check it out. We’ve got nothing to hide.
