This exhibition represents a few big shifts for us: We used a more participatory design process.

People who work with non-professionals on participatory projects often talk about finding "neutral" sites for meetings or meeting on their (the non-professionals') territory. It's easier to talk about interactivity by asking, "what can I do here?" Level the playing field or tip it in their favor. than by talking in suppositions.
