Conversation Before Escalation | Finding Common Ground

Jaewan Park
Establishing a connection to the infrastructure of restorable justice. The goal is to mediate conflicts and create incentives and ideal environments to start the conversation before escalation.

CONCEPT

Gun violence nowadays is a multi-layered issue. People desensitized to gun violence are affecting the community.

In the community, gun violence and gang violence stop people from interacting with new people, leading people to lose their respect towards others and trust bonds. The project is focused on getting people to sit down and talk to find the root cause and solve it through conversation.

USER EXPERIENCE & ACTIVATION

The installation enables people to do a podcast on indoor space and cooking and dining in the outdoor space. These activities will foster conversation among the community members.
