A Fresh Perspective on the Everyday

Drawn from Thimphu

WE ASKED

What does tradition look like today?
Can you pick it up and touch it?

We invite readers to join conversations about humble objects, everyday practices, and distinct tastes of Bhutanese life–whether young or old, near or far.

Humble Objects, Profound Perspectives

This seed project brings new takes on objects we see every day:where does tradition live in our homes, daily routines, and favorite tastes?
We wants to spark a conversation about the ways we can connect across generations, and what goals and dreams come next.
