At The Human Library, people are "open books" who share their stories with curious visitors.
While its mission to "unjudge someone" has caught on globally, its founder worries about the future of bridge-building conversations in divisive times.

At The Human Library in Denmarkβs capital, readers can check out actual living people who volunteer to serve as βopen books.β The idea is for them to have one-on-one conversations and ask questions to βunjudgeβ each other.

In South Korea, the tattoo industry has long been underground due to prohibitive licensing rules. With those restrictions set to lift in 2027, some practitioners are breathing a sigh of relief; theyβll no longer risk fines or jail time. But, others fear that the changes wonβt all be for the better.
