Echoes of Melody: Tracing Time and Capturing Family Stories in Sound and Light
Maker Faire Bay Area 2024
October 18th-20th
Through cross-generational dialogue, we learn from family members, elders, and neighbors, and bring the historical memories of our hometown’s customs, cultural relics, historical sites, legends, and life wisdom, like the water of Wansheng Creek, to life. It becomes a source of nourishment for life. We integrate handicrafts to create family stories into music boxes and story lamps, and collaborate on the production of wooden boats and sustainable dining tables. We express the historical memories of our hometown and the concept of sustainable progress through our own unique creations, becoming courageous and challenging new era makers. Recount family memories and accumulate energy to move towards a sustainable hometown.
