How do I FIND a ‘LOST’ thing?

Released in August, Hunt for the Lost has been an online media project, inviting a wide public audience to respond to ‘Lost things.’ The project is about creating an alternative discourse that knits together fundamental notions in personal ways across diverse publics. Each week a prompt is released online, exploring something that has been lost. This project emerges in the context of a divided America, and unprecedented pandemic. 


Hello, 

We have been receiving a number of inquiries about how to participate in this project, Hunt for the Lost. Each prompt holds a small/big ambiguous invitation to search within inner and outer terrain. There is no one way, nor “right” way. This weekly blog series: How do I Find a Lost thing? explores potential doorways for participating in this project. 

The challenges:

The challenge is that we might have to get uncomfortable thinking about what we’ve lost.
The challenge is that it might take time and space.

The entry-points: 

The prompt as a reflective space to find process, form, and connection

    1. Find a small nuance in a large idea

    2. Let the small nuance be an entry-point

Let it begin as a seed: 

a hue
a photograph
a scribble
an observation
an inspiration
a memory
an ambiguity
