Event Description
Housing Journeys II: You and I, Living, Together
Do property lines decide who we live with—or merely who we live next to?
Does Home begin and end at an imaginary line drawn at the edge of a driveway, a party wall, a fence? Or is Home something wider, messier, more human?
What if Home was less about ownership and more about closeness—about who knocks on your door, who you check in on, who fills the space with memory, laughter, tension, care? Could Home be mapped not with streets and parcels, but in relationships, shared time, and proximity?
At this Creative Kickback session, we will gently question the boundaries that shape how we live together. Architecture student and Second Story Collective Homesharer, Jackson Tignor, will guide participants through a reflective workshop that blends art, writing, and conversation. Together, we will probe the question: how do manufactured divisions—property lines, party walls, blocks—support and diminish our sense of Home?
We will take these ideas about home and living together and imagine them in the context of Philadelphia blocks and streets. Using blank maps, we will write, draw, and color to better consider how closeness—physical and emotional—forms quiet constellations of care and experience.
This session invites you to reminisce, to map memory, and to sit in community as we expand our understanding of how large Home can be. Join us for the second Creative Kickback in the Housing Journeys series—a space to reflect, create, and live together, if only for a little while. |
