Join a fireside chat and see San Francisco in many different ways. Fireside chat will take place online between 5pm-7pm. In person attendance will be limited to 10 people on location and participants must RSVP. Stories from the event will be made into a book collection of which the original will be kept by Stories Make Us + Tiny Publishings, a California 501(c)3 non-profit organization archive. Copies of it will be available to participants in a collection called Shapeshifting Stories at San Francisco Design Week 2022 in return for a suggested donation of 25$-50$. The event/experience was originally designed by Gozde Efe for Root Division, a visual arts non-profit, in 2019. Artist Tracy Ren contributed to the development of it by creating the initial prompts.

Warmly,
