What if the conversation you weren't supposed to have was the only one worth having?

David Deighton, artist and founder of Triptych Dialogue, walks into national parks and asks strangers three political questions. Sometimes they cry. Sometimes they say the worst things he's ever heard.

He listens, then asks for one word that ties it all together, and takes that word to someone else: what does freedom taste like? What does corruption taste like?

We get into the 14th-century triptych at the V&A that started it all, a plexiglass box at the Grand Canyon that quietly exposes people's echo chambers, French snail-catching, South Street cheesesteaks, and a 40-minute friendship with a DMV guy named Fred.

David's coming to Philly this fall to install free speech pieces around the Liberty Bell, and we're plotting a Dalessandro's run.
