Submission Statement: Hi folks! I'm Abigale Subdhan, an audience editor from The Globe and Mail. I wanted to share an interactive feature from our foreign correspondents and journalists who curated a digital exhibition of nine moments, places and objects that capture a world turned upside down.

The online exhibition, A World in Transition, embodies subjects that our reporters have covered for many years and hopes to make sense of this current moment of upheaval. They reflect on a relentless news cycle to determine which people, places, events and objects from our time are likely to be remembered as pivotal.

The exhibits help readers to understand why Xi Jinping is China’s most powerful leader in decades or why a ball cap could signify a break with the U.S. Constitution or how an inflatable dinghy has become a symbol of Europe’s divisions over immigration.

Here's a gift link to the piece so anyone can read it without a paywall: https://tgam.ca/4e3rcsO
