We are creating a new category of pubic institution: part museum, part design studio, part retail cafe, to engage the public in better, more authentic conversation about current events. Our secret sauce is a curriculum that helps people build the basic skills, knowledge and mindset needed to understand people. After 5 years of experimentation, research, and a handful small scale projects, 2018 is set to be the year we accelerate, hosting our first public programs, launching an academy to serve as a test bed for the programing for the coming neighborhood hub, a book from our founder is in the works, and a push for a full scale space.
