My Thing → Your Thing

Created in collaboration with 20 young people from South Korea and their local neighbours, My Thing → Your Thing activates a community of people, bringing them together to co-perform in a unique auction-style spectacle, featuring original songs that weave in the neighbour’s stories behind their objects, all driven by the curiosity of the young people. Believing that fact is more interesting than fiction, My Thing → Your Thing approaches the question of object acquisition by introducing the object, unadulterated, into a community exchange where generosity and the power of the object’s story take center stage.

My Thing → Your Thing is being developed in South Korea with support from the Canada Council’s Canada-Korea Co-creation Fund.

Collaborators include: Rhian Hinkley, Ivy Hinkley, Alice Fleming, Ngawang Luding, Virginia Antonipillai, and Darren O’Donnell.
