Exhibition Growth Chart

This is a visual representation of the sequence of experiences within the exhibition.  

ROOTS

We have grown tall. Having ascended with us, can you now see the world in a new way? No longer blinded by your own eyes, which are made fresh by the climb, you see a new day dawning. 

UNDERSTORY

Have the memory. Hold it. Hold it. Stronger and longer than they ever could.

CANOPY

Disrupt the traditions. The structures that frail human hands have built to hold their memory. We will overrun, hold those memories, and so much more.
