The project's starting point was inspired by a digital phenomenon in which people shared biographical events, so-called "checkpoints," in the comments of a YouTube music video. We see these “checkpoints” as markers of individual memory and also collective chronology. In this happening, through movement, drawing and music we hope to create our own “checkpoints” of connection that foster empathy and community within a space.
