Draw; a moment of exchange – Nina van Hartskamp

Draw: A moment of exchange

travel blog / publication, 2014 – ongoing

Since 2014 I travel with a deck of question cards. Whenever I meet a new person I let them draw 3 cards. Inspired by their answers I make them a drawing on the spot and in return I ask them to give me something I can remember them by.

Over the years I’ve made over 200 drawings and have been given many things in return; places to sleep, songs, drawings, breakfast, jewellery, books, a ride to the airport, and many more. I captured these moments of exchange on a blog; Streetdraw.

‘How does rain smell?’ ‘What is your strength?’ ‘Describe a happy moment from your childhood.’ ‘Where do you see yourself in a year?’ ‘What has been a magical moment in your life?’ ‘How does love feel in your body?’ ‘What do you want to be remembered by?’ ‘What are you pretending not to know?’ ‘Describe your dream home.’ ‘What makes you burst into laughter?’ ‘What fear would you like to conquer?’
