Eye to Eye at a Height-Equalizing Party
An Oakland artist hosted a “same-height” party using custom platform footwear to let guests stand eye to eye with the tallest participant (6'5"), exploring balance, perception, and social ease. The months-long build focused on precise measurements and safety (walking sticks, flat venue), and attendees reported easier conversations and a sense of belonging, with the shoes donated afterward and a guide published to help others recreate the concept.
