100 Years of Childhood
Raul spoke at the NYC CreativeMornings outpost, as part of a series on childhood. The video’s up for your viewing pleasure.
Through stories, photos, and the grainy charm of a Super-8 short, Raul examines how we can encourage more play and fewer rules. He traces 100 years of childhood, from his toddling grandparents’ (one toy, one book, infinite hours roaming outdoors) to his own sons’ (tablets that hold multitudes, apartment-bound adventures, schedules fit for a regiment).
Despite surface differences, universal curiosities and longings—for freedom and danger (within reason!); for slowness, the time to ask questions—exist and matter.
