Through engaging with a collection of participatory zines, Molly Brodsky GSD '25 and Inmo Kang GSD '25 invite you to sit down, get cozy and explore your inner world.

Friday location: Science Center Plaza

Saturday location: Memorial Hall South Lawn

The Little Living Room is a furniture-scale installation and art-making space that invites you to reflect on and express the parts of yourself that don’t fit into simple categories. By exploring our inner contradictions, we begin considering "how do we live with another?" by first asking “how do we live with the many versions of ourselves?” Featuring a set of participatory zines housed in a “pop-up” living room, The Little Living Room encourages reflection around identities, beliefs, desires, and emotions. Through reading others’ contributions and adding your own to the collection, the living room becomes a place to hold and recognize the Harvard community’s collective complexity. The Little Living Room invites you to slow down, embrace your multifaceted identity, and discover others’ shared experiences. Whether you find it by chance or on purpose, we hope you feel seen and expanded.

The Little Living Room: An Invitation to Contradiction will be open from 5.2 - 5.3. On day 1, we will facilitate a workshop from 3PM-7PM in the Science Center Plaza. On day 2, submissions will be featured in a collective exhibition on the lawn of Memorial Hall.

About the Artists
Sitting, Holding is a design collective of Inmo Kang and Molly Brodsky born out of a common interest in enabling participation by contextualized facilitation tools. Through topics of contradiction, archiving, and nourishment, their projects focus on challenging dialogue spaces for holding complexity and conflict within personal and collective lives.

Inmo Kang (M.Arch ’25) is an architectural designer with creative experience in the US, Korea, and Switzerland. Their work has been exhibited in different institutions such as the SRISA Gallery in Florence and the Harvard Kirkland Gallery in Cambridge. Supported by the Salata Institute and the Harvard Mellon Urban Initiative, their work explores questions of entangled politics of domestic and cultural spaces.

Molly Brodsky (M Des ’25) is a design-researcher and educator. She designs participatory rituals, objects, and gatherings to collectively reimagine solidarities, time-relations, and systems of multispecies care. She practices as a design facilitator, working with decarceration and climate-equity advocates to co-design just futures. Her current project-in-progress, Order(s) of Freedom(s) for Contested Time(s), is supported by the Harvard Graduate School of Design’s Racial Equity and Anti-Racism Fund and the Center for Jewish Studies at Harvard.
