Analog Version: What If the Park Dreamed Back?
In this analog Spiral Lab, participants began with billion-year-old rocks as companions, listening to the park as both witness and author. Together, they named griefs and gifts, released patterns of harm, and imagined futures worth inheriting—from truth-telling and repair today, to healing and belonging across generations.

Futures Line: What if the Park Dreamed Back?
What if a park could dream?
At the Our Parks × TEN Baltimore Symposium, we invited participants to listen with the land and imagine Baltimore’s Leakin Park in the year 2075. Their future-voicemails became the first Futures Line recording—a layered soundscape and foresight artifact that carries themes of healing, belonging, and stewardship.

…when we talk about “fairness,” we might unintentionally limit our thinking to a transactional model—balancing scales, distributing harm, and managing resources. Fairness, as a frame, feels safe. But it’s also static. It doesn’t invite us to question the very systems that created the inequities we’re trying to address.
