My Favourite Object: Community Storytelling Project

By Mission Parks, Recreation and Culture

Mission Parks, Recreation and Culture in partnership with the Mission Museum is hosting a digital art installation at the Mission Leisure Centre this January and February called My Favourite Object. My Favourite Object aims to give people an opportunity to share through reflecting on their favourite objects and hopefully build some connections and community in the process!

Think of it as a community-wide icebreaker, a fun way for us to get to know our neighbours. It's super simple to participate - snap a photo of your favourite object, create a brief 20 word write up with your first name and age ("adult" or "kid" is fine too) and send them to [email protected] or respond in this thread - we can add these images and write ups to our display too.

And if you're really keen and want to take some leadership on this - share and spread the word! Ask the question at your next staff meeting, fitness class or family messenger chat. Maybe even a church wants to ask the question in their weekly news update? Let's get people talking!

We have several focuses over the next 2 months, our first focus is generic - what is your favourite object? Our second focus is for the kids and youth in our community - show and tell us about your favourite object? And our third falls in line with Family Day and Heritage week - what object would you be found in your family museum? There is more info on our website, www.mission.ca/my-favourite-object but I'd say this really sums it up!

What's your favourite object?
