The Deconstruction 2020

A GLOBAL CREATIVE COLLABORATION EVENT

ABOUT RETHINKING DISTANCE

Lucky me! With a small yet nimble New Creatures crew, we have the opportunity to produce this 3rd edition of one of my favorite events: The Deconstruction!

And in this time of shelter-in-place due to Covid-19, there is no better topic to deconstruct than DISTANCE.

WHAT IS IT?

The Deconstruction is a creative collaboration event held online - and in real life. Before the event, a topic is released for our participants (you!) to explore (deconstruct!). Then, during a 48-hour window you re-imagine the topic and create something completely new with resources you already have.

You’re bringing something into the world that did not exist before! It can be a work of art, a performance, an invention. It can be fun, it can be serious, it can be both!

If you missed the big reveal, don’t worry! You can watch the videos of our live broadcasts and the teams’ final projects at thedeconstruction.org. Teams spanned the globe, across age (3-93), language, background… yet were connected by the universal impacts of the current Covid-19 pandemic.

Each team approached the theme (Deconstruction: Distance) in a unique way with creations that are compelling, heartwarming, thought-provoking, and unifying. Check it out; you’ll be inspired.
