A Palimpsest is a manuscript where a portion is erased to make room for later writing, leaving traces of the original. This idea is used as a metaphor for how memory works.

Participants are invited to tell an early childhood memory and make a drawing of it. After each drawing, participants have the opportunity to erase a portion of the previous person's drawing and add their own.
