Living Record: Looking Back to Look Forward is a participatory exhibition that connects memory, present-day reflection, and future imagination through interactive storytelling and creative engagement. The exhibition functions as both an arts experience and a participatory storytelling experience, inviting visitors to contribute to a growing “living record” that evolves throughout its tour.

Through artwork, storytelling, audio, and interactive engagement, the exhibition invites visitors to explore how communities remember the past, reflect on the present, and imagine the future.
