Souvenirs confirm and reinforce our experience of the world, transporting us across geographic and temporal distances back to their moment of acquisition. They may be kitschy, unremarkable, or deeply personal and sentimental. Regardless, these artifacts are imbued with deep significance, reinforcing an emotional attachment, animating and humanizing lifeless objects through memories of lived experiences.
DesignInquiry wishes to share a selection of souvenirs from Montréal collected by DesignCity participants.
