    Invitation- JSAA Interior Design Podcast- The everyday object and facts
    Our lives are a veritable bricolage of objects, some inherited, some bought, some found, others gifted. Surrounded by them, stored away or lovingly displayed, they define and shape us. Objects move, and they move us; they hurtle us through time and space, both past and of the future. And, they endure, gathering stories and impressions, of generations of hands.
    Yet, we mistakenly equate value with money, not memories. We look at the artwork hanging on our walls, and skip past that chipped, faded bowl picked up by our grandmother sitting on the kitchen shelf. We revel in the new, and push back the old, the mundane. Binaries such as these are created, not necessarily lived.
    How do we, especially designers, celebrate the ordinary? How do we understand its affective power? How do we recover our personal and collective histories? How do we embrace material culture? How do we make place memories, and make place for them?
    *Tune in to this week’s JSAA Interior Design Podcast with Prof. Czaee Malpani and Oral Historian & Author Anchal Malhotra, as we learn to rejoice in the everyday on 15th July, Wednesday at 11 AM link- https://bit.ly/2W4PbjUSMS
