Throughout history our city has sat at a crossroads. More than concrete and water, an intersection of people and ideas, races and faiths – all coming together to do something magical. While we may have different origins and destinations, for a moment, we all share this journey together. That is no more exemplified than at MEM. 

Intertwining reflects and celebrates the interconnection of our journey, individually and collectively. Each of us is a thread beautifully woven into a powerful tapestry, not despite our differences but because of them. That is Memphis. 

We are a global epicenter where changemakers, world-shakers and idea-breakers come together to create, challenge and change the world around us. In Memphis, we call it soul, and it is reflected in every aspect of Intertwining. Like Memphis’ beginnings, it starts with tension and moves, sometimes quickly and sometimes slowly, into weaves that intertwine representing every dimension of our city. Our heart, hospitality and hustle. Our generosity, diversity and creativity. Our innovation, determination and collaboration. Our sound, style and spirit. 

This is our social fabric. This is our soul.  
As soul guides us and our great city on this collective journey, we recognize that our travels are never truly complete. Neither is Intertwining, as the installation shows the threads of our past and present, with our future waiting to be woven. In that future an enduring invitation is extended – for those who change the world, welcome home
