In Conversation With Paige Geffen “To change the narrative on how we relate to our stuff” is the philosophy behind Paige Geffen’s Object & Us, a consultancy which seeks to redefine the individual’s relationship to their objects and spaces.

In Conversation With Dancers Irene and Kieran. When we stumbled across this beautiful contact improvisation video, we just had to know more about the people and the practice behind it.
