"Individuals’ relationships often provide pathways to self-change." – Erica B. Slotter & Wendi L. Gardner
We believe that individual relationships, when woven into a larger network, can lead to unexpected growth and transformation.
Are you interested in meeting people serendipitously? Or perhaps you have a story about a chance encounter you'd like to share in this pop-up space?
We believe the best friendships are often formed outside large social gatherings, in more intimate, unexpected settings. This pop-up offers an urban canvas designed to foster unintentional friendships. We are also interested in facilitating these unintentional meetings within the pop-up precinct, creating opportunities for rich, cross-disciplinary conversations.
Whether you randomly bump into someone and spark a conversation during:
Your commute between Alt_Ping and Chef's for breakfast or lunch
Your commute between Alt_Ping and The A Ter
Your commute between Alt_Ping and the Red Dog Gallery
Your commute between Alt_Ping and your hotel
At markets or restaurants
At events (let us know which event you attended)
You’ll earn 1 edge if you connect with someone within the Edge Lanna community, or 2 edges if you connect with someone outside of it. You will earn edges only when you share a story of your serendipitous encounters on our Telegram—only so I am aware of it and can send you edges. This community currency helps us stimulate the economy as part of our project.
Tips:
A brief 1-2 minute conversation with a random person can be about anything, but we'd love for it to touch on your goals or passions.
Feel free to share your past or future serendipitous encounters on our Telegram:

This event runs 24/7 from today until November 10th. You can also choose to participate without any incentives—your involvement will help us shape a better experience for future pop-ups!
