Traces
-
What can lost property left on buses tell us about care, connection and humanity?
A curatorial display using items of lost property that reveal personal stories of London's bus users.
Every day, thousands of Londoners hop on and off the bus on a journey. Who are they? Where are they going? What are they leaving behind? The traces of their forgotten objects tell us unforgettable stories.
We invite you to reflect on the unseen moments of care, connection and humanity that unfold every day on London’s buses – where even the smallest gestures can leave a lasting impact.
Traces is a curatorial project created by students from UCL, aiming to explore personal narratives, community co-curation and human connections.
