What's real? Who decides? Let's talk about it, offline.

About this Event

In June 2017, I was in Hanoi and hosting a popup installation in real life that was called 'N' Hanoi: Narrative.

There were tickets. Limited seats. And, a *secret location*. Which I shared only after people committed to it. Why? Trust. The idea was, you didn't quite know what was going to happen but you trusted enough in the concept (or me, if I met you in person) to show up on the day and say, 'OK. Take me on a journey.' It was beautiful. There's even a selfie. Now, here we are in 2020, the exact same month, and let's move on to Reality. Real life is great, and for me, the best channel for conversation and real connexion. The quality ones that I most enjoy. 'Make what you wish existed' is advice I got from Saleem Reshamwala, who has that pinned on his twitter, and I think for me these events are *it*.

REALITY & TRUST. What's real? Who even knows, anymore. But let's parse it out, in real life, together. The way we consume information now becomes how we read and experience and interact with each other.

But I remember a different time. When you would walk into a place and see people like actually live-talking together with facial expressions and eye contact, with no dinging and ringing things in their pockets, just hanging out, maybe telling jokes? without having rehearsed them, hello, why do people do this, or just simply laughing out loud, and not being so overly concerned about 'reactions.' I remember a time when we could just be who we were about to become as young people, listening to music, improvising in the moment, making it up as we went✨... a way of framing a conversation that I've adapted in my own way to the stuff that becomes these kinds of parties.

SAIGON. Now I'm Vietnam. I have been, since February (guess why!), and I have two weeks left. Shall I come to Saigon and host a conversation salon for those of you who are reading this and saying, 'Yeah, we need to discuss things in real life spaces with people whom we don't aleady know?' Right now I am an 11-hour bus ride away. But!, I will go there, if people are 'on' for this. I know, right? Random. Yet. I like it this way.

LOCATION. I'll share the location of 'Reality' with registering guests *only*. Min 4. Max 8. Advance bookings only.If 4 people book, I'll get the night bus from where I am and tell you where 'Reality' will be.✨✨✨✨
