From the interior walls of our home, to our book club’s Facebook wall, to the community bulletin board at the local market, walls are the canvases of our lives: where stories are read, voices are heard, ideas are shared. Much can be revealed from the items on a wall, from old postcards to long-forgotten flyers.
A wall of flyers in the historic district of Macau.
While exploring the old town of Macau, I passed a storefront covered with an assortment of flyers: advertisements, notices from activist groups, event announcements, art, and more. And if I came away with anything from my 48 hours there, it was that Macau was a place of many influences, from Portuguese to Chinese and much more, all of which were reflected on this wall.
This week, consider the walls you’ve erected and decorated, the halls you walk down each day, or the exteriors you’ve ignored or neglected. What do these walls reveal about a place, people, or you?
We look forward to seeing your walls from all over the world.
