The Trading Tortoise is a traveling art installation that asks people to exchange objects and words with each other. At each stop on their tour, they’ll invite folks to bring something — anything! a story, a memento, a letter, a knick-knack — and exchange it for another item that was brought by somebody else before them. Each object is tagged with the name and location of the giver, then added to a website where it can be tracked. Super cool!
