We're in the future, let's say the year 2050.
The world is by and large an ecologically just and balanced place.
Imagine the world and say 1 word you associate with it.
In biology, interstitium is the name given to the spaces between cells that cushion our skin and where the supplying pathways run. House of Interstitium is what we call where we come together: All of us weaving the social interstitium, the in-between spaces and care pathways that connect us and our environment. This reproductive work is often rendered invisible and not acknowledged in our society. At House of Interstitium, we focus on this and gather, practice, and strengthen it. We play a game in small groups where a shared future is forged through the telling of fictional memories.
