Somewhere Yes: The Search for Belonging in a World Shaped by Branding - Paperback

In a unique text most relevant to our times, Brooklyn-based designer and creative director Beat Kaspar Baudenbacher dives into the pros and cons of a social structure driven by branding.

​A complex and visually provocative foray into the way we become our environment--from our products to our politics--Somewhere Yes takes us on a journey designed to make us question the intentionality of our choices, the depth of our kindness, and our very belonging as a species on this planet.

Branding has the capacity to promote human connection but instead often fosters division and detachment. Yet, it doesn't have to be this way--it has simply evolved into this struggle because we've allowed our individual wants to overcome our collective needs, much like a symbol of beauty might evolve into one of fascism. Baudenbacher provides insightful ways to take apart the identity crisis we have so haphazardly put together, so that we may belong . . . better.
