Six Feet Over: Shared Perspectives From The Time We Went Away
This week, we're sharing a special episode of Grey Matter, featuring an idea from within the walls of Grey, a project called Six Feet Over.
Six Feet Over is a collection of almost 400 artifacts, images, objects and stories submitted by the folks of Grey NY. It was designed to introduce and reintroduce us to each other by spotlighting our individual journeys and the strange moment in history: the Covid pandemic through the lens of humanity and creativity. Together it creates a work of art that captures our lives since March of 2020 and shares perspectives of the time we went away.
To see more of this project, go to the @grey Instagram feed and Six Feet Over highlights.
Host: John Patroulis, Global Creative Chairman and President, Creative Business
