TRADING MEMORIES–THE ANCESTOR DECK
by Jo Reimer and various artists
Each card in this one-of-a-kind deck features an artwork that recalls a family member, living or deceased. The deck was created as an art exchange by 63 participants, who traded stories of their ancestors that are sometimes funny, sometimes sad, and often quite touching. The first in our two-part series on this fascinating deck appears on page 50.
