Schlepp

What is the most tangible, global representation of school? The backpack. It stored our hopes, challenges, directives, tools, knick knacks, and knowledge during our formative years. Today, with public education a victim of market forces, Mauricio and Sophia Forero use the backpack to illustrate the intense, personal capabilities of education. They present a scenario of empty backpacks in a mock market setting, and invite participants to share their individual school memories with photographs and stories.
