We were so lucky to work with @stillroomstudio on our graphic identity, and in the process to reconnect to what we are all about. Here’s to many more colors and collaborations.

We are incredibly proud and honored to have been able to work with the astounding Catherine Opie on the exhibition design for her show “To Be Seen” at the National Portrait Gallery in London on view March 5- May 31, 2026.
Rather than place Opie’s work in the museum, the design of the show aimed to place the museum in the show creating “rooms within rooms” that allow for a direct encounter with the formalities of portraiture and the politics of identity.
The architectural framework of the exhibition recalls the iconic saturated spaces of the NPG while introducing a new and reoriented axis of view. The rooms are set apart suggesting multiple readings of what is within and without, what is included and excluded, what is private and public. However, these binaries do not hold as the rooms break open and collide with the existing structures of the museum, eschewing dichotomies and bringing forward the beautiful complexity of Opie’s work.

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
