Overview
- Burnaby resident Eyvan Collins created the project after a romantic breakup and sought artifacts with posters reading “Failures wanted.”
- Each submission is paired with a written note from the contributor explaining why the item represents a personal misstep or loss.
- Notable pieces include a decades-old wedding dress from Collins’s mother, a wall of job rejections, and broken tie rods from a modified car.
- Other exhibits feature an unsharpenable handmade knife, photos and mementos from ended relationships, and a backwards stamp Collins made.
- Independent filmmaker Rheanna Toy reached out after seeing the call for entries and is producing a short film about the museum.
