Chapter 3: How to Make a Table from Memory, by Frankey Chung-Kok-Lun

A table speaks.

How to make a table a table from memory by Frankey Chung-Kok-Lun

read by Alfie Baker

Synopsis

What might your kitchen table say to you? What about the phone in your hand? Or the shoes on your feet?

How might the things in our lives look back on where they came from, or where they're going?

How to make a table from memory tells us a powerful, non-human story, that highlights how we, as humans, might reconnect with natural world, and what we take from it.
