Synopsis

A groundbreaking collaboration manual for fostering authentic connections and embracing the unknown.

Playground brings together philosophy and art through the unique collaboration of Ksenija Kadić and Mirela Kulović. This book documents their year-long, authentic philosophical conversations, providing readers with a powerful example of co-creation and a guide for navigating their own creative journeys.

Delving into the essence of playfulness,

Playground explores the philosophy of "Space to be Different" (STBD) – a concept born from the authors' shared experiences as "misfits, displaced, nomads". Through chapters designed for random access and filled with questions for the reader, this book invites you to step outside your comfort zone, embrace spontaneity, and discover the transformative power of relationships. It offers a new perspective on collaboration, showing how vulnerability, curiosity, and a willingness to explore the uncharted can lead to profound self-discovery and lasting connections.

More than just a book,

Playground is an experience, designed to inspire nomadic workers and creators to build nurturing, long-lasting collaborative spaces wherever they are in the world.
