Summary
The key from your first apartment. An old typewriter you used to write your thesis. Fabric buttons made by your grandmother. We all have objects, big and small, that have no real monetary value, but are precious. They tell the story of our lives or remind us of a happy or even sad time. These are the objects that constitute our own personal archive. We’ll talk to artists and writers about the things we keep, and why we keep them. And we’ll hear from you: what object have you kept for its special meaning?
