#TheVoidProject 04: Valuing constraints w/Lisa Donoughe
How can limitations actually spur creativity?
Summary
How might the intentional choice to live abroad influence one’s relationship to their possessions? Along with opportunities come constraints — which can spark entirely new approaches. For example, sorting through what we own and deciding what to do with it needn’t be burdensome; it can be big fun.
