Throughout history, the exchange of gifts has played a central role in the conduct of international relations. While the rules, traditions and culture of gifting evolve, it remains a universal ritual that often reveals deeper truths about what it means to be human.

Polite Fictions examines this gifting ritual in the diplomatic arena, wherein gifts once had the power to initiate negotiations, ease tensions or send subtle messages. HouseTMM created a publication that conveys this intricate narrative in a physical manner.
