Experience and Discover.
Scattered through the space: there was a wall of thread, a table of ink, sixty hidden facts. No map, no order — just small worlds for attendees to come across on their own.
Field Notes
A quiet counterpoint to the day: one long table, fountain pens, ink, and paper.
All Roads Lead to Om
A living wall of thread, connecting guests to Om and to each other, one line at a time.
Through Om’s Lens
The photographs, clothing, books, objects, and makers that caught Om’s eye, a glimpse into how he saw the world.
The Scroll
A continuous story created together: write, draw, doodle, or leave your mark as the scroll unfolds throughout the day.
Photo Gallery

OM / 60 Facts
Sixty small discoveries about Om, hidden throughout the space for you to find.
Time
Watches, pens, inks, and objects Om chose to keep—a study of time, craftsmanship, and the things we carry with us.
Tea Ceremony
A ritual repeated in small groups all afternoon: attention, patience, conversation.
“If you pay enough attention to the present, you can see the future.”
Om Malik
