The interior has never been given such attention as it is now, a time when maps of the world represent COVID\u201319\u2019s movement as a ripple crossing continents, with daily recordings of cases increasing and decreasing, or coming to a halt between neighbouring countries\u2019 now sealed borders. At the global scale, political borders have abstract boundary lines, yet on the ground, walls and poche of living spaces act as immediate buffers between individuals and neighbours. Even closer, face-masks intimately screen-off those friends and families not in one\u2019s immediate bubble. We leave and return from home like scuba-divers exiting a submarine, or astronauts venturing forth from the protection of a spacecraft. The threshold moment is prolonged, preparing masks, gloves, scarves, keys, bank cards\u2013hard currency is risky\u2013everything ritualised\u2026 check for hand-sanitiser. On return, the process is reversed, everything left at the door, shoes, gloves, masks, wallet, purse, bags, packaging is removed, cleansed, hands are scrubbed in the way a medic would\u2026 timing is everything.<\/mark>

\u00a0 \u00a0 These near-sighted perspectives have become magnified over several months, drawing into focus emerging issues previously blurred. Things are re-prioritized, and we start to confront inequalities made visible with the intersection of the virus. New genres of interiors are forming within our traditional interiors, both physical and virtual, and the disease is making us look inside like we never have before.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Interior Archipelago\u2013Postcards from Our Islands<\/em> is an international project that seeks to capture the familiar, but transformed interior during this time. Daily routines have been interrupted and with that, our ability to travel at will, we primarily journey from room to room. Postcards recall travel while acting as souvenirs. This project seeks to collect souvenirs from lock-down in the form of postcard sized works. These might be images as one travels within a domestic setting, details, encounters online and similar found experiences. This collection will reflect the design communities from The Glasgow School of Art<\/em> in Scotland and Singapore; the School of Interior Design at Toronto Metropolitan University<\/em> in Toronto, Canada and the Academy of Arts & Design at Tsinghua University<\/em> in Beijing, China. The outcome will be an exhibition and publication will be pursued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
