Being Hear: A Book About Being Present and Listening

Being Hear charts a multi-sensory exploration of what it means to be present and our ability to listen to each other and the world in modern technological times. It was created as a response to observed behaviors and questions about the effects of technology by designer Scott Boms and illustrator Fuchsia MacAree. The book features more than 70 curious and delightful original illustrations that draw from a distinct geographic influence and reflect the journey the authors went on during the book’s creation, along with essays, connected narratives that reward readers for their attentiveness, and interactive activities.
