An Exchange of Gifts
You are a traveler: your small ship carries you from planet to planet, where you encounter cultures and civilizations different from your own.  Using only a standard deck of cards, you learn about and exchange gifts with each culture before moving on. Record your observations and reflections in a travel log.  Inspired by "Alone Among the Stars" by Takuma Okada, and my own desire to practice models of meeting "the other" outside of the western tropes of colonialism, objectification, and exoticization that I grew up with.
