The wound from the World Wars was not healed in Warszawa. People seemed to refrain sharing theit stories, and instead, bottle them up.

“Story Exchange (Wymiana hisorii)” was a postcard-exchange system designed for the citizens of Warszawa to share their stories of city with the other residents.

People at the Public A-I-R Festival were invited to use the 100% locally sourced materials to leave their traces and an envelope with their address.
Every participant received a random postcard decorated and written by other participant after the festival.

All the materials used in “Story Exchange” were found naturally around Ujazdowski castle and were recycled- moss stamp, beetroot ink, wooden pallets, hand-made recycled papers, etc.
