Strangers Need Strange Moments Together

When was the last time you laughed with a stranger? In this first episode of Strangers Need Strange Moments Together, Mouna Andraos and Melissa Mongiat, cofounders of art and design studio Daily tous les jours, introduce the philosophy behind their 15 years of work in public space and the ideas that shaped their new book. They explore why joy is not frivolous, how collective experiences build trust, and why cities need “infrastructure for the human spirit.” From post-pandemic isolation to the role of music, play, and participation in urban design, this episode sets the foundation for a podcast about cities, connection, and designing for togetherness in real life. Topics covered: Public art, urban design, community resilience, collective joy, civic engagement, interactive installations, social connection, cities and public space. Find Daily tous les jours online Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dailytljLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/dailytouslesjoursWebsite: https://www.dailytouslesjours.com/enBuy Strangers Need Strange Moments Together: https://www.setmargins.press/books/strangers-need-strange-moments-together/
