Whats a creative strategy for bridging distance?
So I get around by bike. Then, I moved somewhere troublingly far away. But as a result, I became good at biking. So now I look forward to it.
Jon McCurley, artist
It might be helpful to think of distance as the bridge in and of itself. Whether physical or conceptual, distance offers other forms of meaning and other modes for understanding.
Nour Bishouty, artist
Embrace breathing as a single, indisputable fact that unites all humanity. Take every breath as the start of a story that bridges worlds.
Vladimir Kanic, artist
Songs can trigger memories, connect you to faraway places or people and transcend language. Send a song its a powerful way to say everything.
Ziyan Hossain, artist
Connect and collaborate with people who have different skills, ways of making and fields of study. Find a common thread and expand!
Embrace spontaneity. Share your thoughts, memories, that photo or meme. It's the little things that bridge distances.
Jordan Shaw, artist
Find a sparring partner. Dialogue and disagreement are very productive.

Make yourself open to the things that divide you. If you can do that, you'll always end up meeting somewhere in the middle.
