Quays Culture are proud to have co-commissioned Duet, a new digital experience which facilitates cultural exchange between the UK and India.
Duet officially took off on 23rd February, asking ‘What is the bravest thing you’ve ever done?’ The question prompted a total of 5 responses, which varied from facing fears of open water to changing career paths. Fast-forward to 24th March and there are 282 active users; 141 pairs in transnational conversation sharing details of their daily routines, memories and interests.
DUET is an ambitious project spanning continents and media. We hope it allows people the space for everyday reflection, not only about themselves, but also about their perceptions of others’
Ben Eaton, Artist, Invisible Flock
The premise of the app is simple. After pairing you with a partner, Duet will ask one carefully curated question a day for both participants to answer. Over the course of a year, you’ll reflect together and build a picture of your partner’s life and their surroundings.
‘It made me feel reflective…about my own life, but also how my life compares to others in the world.’
