Welcome the Mind the Gap: Exhibition Guide
Last year, we began asking how we might share our work at a big idea—and the stories and experiences that emerge from it—in a way that isn’t shaped by algorithms, but instead invites people to linger.
What followed was an exploration of what it might feel like if our platforms were interconnected like a museum or gallery. A space where you can move quickly or slowly, skim the surface or go deep, with quiet invitations to pause, sit, and process along the way.
MIND THE GAP, our first digital exhibit, is our foray into that. On Instagram, you get a full, unfolding view of the exhibit from the highest level. Through somewhere; together, you get deep dives if you desire to go there. Via our emails, a guide to it all. A playlist on Spotify to enjoy throughout.
Why we made this
Mind The Gap is a digital exhibition on living in the messy part of evolution. The not-quite-here, not-quite-there, deep discomfort of feeling stuck, lost, or in between.
We made it because this feeling – of being suspended between who you were and whoever comes next – is everywhere right now. In us, in the people around us, in institutions and systems that are straining under the weight of becoming something new. We wanted to immortalize it, and to normalize it – to show just how much it is a natural part of our individual and collective evolution.

A note before you wander.
This is not a linear exhibition; there are no right or wrong turns. But in case it helps to know where you are, here’s a rough map of what we’ve built and where things live.
The exhibition lives primarily on Instagram – the feed serves as the gallery floor. If you've been following along there, you've already been walking through it.
And somewhere; together – is where the longform lives. Where a painting becomes an essay, a whisper becomes a deeper reflection. A place where you can take your time. You can arrive from Instagram or start here.

Moment of Reflection
‘What would it feel like to stand by myself instead of escaping myself? ABI client and collaborator Frenchie Ferenczi poses an important question that emerged from her experience with our Inner Architecture process.

There’s more of the exhibition on the way. Follow along in real time on Instagram, or wait till it all comes together. We’ll send one more email before the exhibition closes.
Wherever you are in the gap, we hope this exhibit gives you the space and courage to honor it.
Until next time.
