Institutions succeed or fail by the relationships they build, and those relationships succeed or fail through the stories they are built around.
Each of us is a story writing itself. Our public institutions are no different. From museums to parliaments, from libraries to law courts, from kindergartens to universities, each is the story of what our society is, where we have been and where we aspire to go. Their work and their very existence chronicle the narrative of when we choose to come together, when we fail to do so and how we navigate everything between.
And our relationships with these institutions depend on whether or not we believe the story they tell about us and how it intersects with our own experience.
