04 Tides Retreat · 2026
Winter · Civic capacity
Tides Retreat.
The year closes on the keeping itself: what held, what was lost, who came in, and who is leaving with something nobody else knows. It is the least transactional of the four tables by design — the record is told here rather than negotiated — and the people who will carry the work next are in the room with the people who have been carrying it.
