World Kiosk

Bringing the world a little bit closer.

Picture this: a street kiosk disrupting the fabric of everyday life. An intimate and enchanting digital sound and light installation where communities collide. Sip tea amidst a calming atmosphere, engaging in thought-provoking conversation, encouraging new connections. Put on headphones and be transported into a place where stories come alive. Listen and connect with the life journeys of what makes people all over the world who they are.

We invite you to find out about your global neighbours in a whole new light…
