What are visitors’ impressions of the exhibited themes – land use, food production, and agricultural biotechnology – that they choose to share on postcards? How do their thoughts (literally) speak to each other, to people they will most likely never meet? How does this transform the medium postcard, both as mode of communication and research tool?
I ask visitors to write postcards that I subsequently send to the next location of the exhibit. Below are their contributions to a global dialogue, albeit captured only in a few places along my journeys as international graduate student between fieldwork, homes, conferences, and universities.
