Seeing past the clutter: what stuff really matters?
The stuff in our lives is inescapable. Objects, souvenirs, and the items that signal who we are to the world carry deep meaning to us making the process of figuring out what to do with it all a daunting challenge. Drawing on lived experience navigating the death of a parent, the relocation of another, and the professional training of an archivist, this talk will explore the complicated relationship we all have with stuff and the need to get comfortable with letting it go by focusing on what really matters.
