Create a visual piece OR a soundscape in response to the prompt, “If someone were to step into your soul right now, what would they see/hear?”
Create a flyer/poster advertising our unconventional online installation that could be shared with someone, such as a family member, friends, or a community member like your local bodega or leaving it in your building lobby. The installation title is: “If someone were to step into your soul…”
Pick your favorite spot in your neighborhood. From there write out what you experience in that spot from each of your 5 senses (sight, taste, smell, sound, touch).
Create a visual art map of how to get to your favorite spot. Be as realistic or abstract as you’d like. You could note the senses in your map, include your perspective on why it’s your favorite, and design it in any way you like.
Explore your neighborhood and find a local work of art. This could be street art, a mural, architecture, or a performer you see on a walk. Create a visual abstraction (something not realistic) inspired by the piece.
Temporarily install either your visual artwork or your soundscape near the local work of art you found. You can do this either in person OR at home. Take a photo or video of the piece: you might perform your soundscape live and record that, hold your visual artwork up or place it near the local artwork.
Inspired by Juliana Huxtable, “Speak your truth!” Brainstorm at least 10 words that you identify with. These could be specific alignments such as queerness, being a person of color, your culture, your values; or they could be more abstract words that represent your mood, hopes, dreams, or past. Write these words in your sketchbook in lettering styles, fonts, and colors that represent the feeling of the word to you.
Create a poster or zine speaking your truth. Choose one, two, or three of the words you brainstormed and expand on it in a zine or poster. Your poster could be sketches, drawings, all text, or even a collage.
Write a creative story responding to the prompt:
“If someone were to step into your soul right now, what’s the story?”
I think if someone were to enter my soul they would be in a pitch black room with lofi music playing that is disconnected to the outside world or you can say the reality. the person that had the luck to venture inside this isolated room(not sure if that’s considered luck) would find a handle of a door in the ground, if they decided to pick it up(I mean why wouldn’t you pick up a door handle inside a pitch black isolated room?)they will be able to open a door that will bring them further in my soul no further in my core. Well if they decide not to pick up the handle(i don’t know why it’s beautiful handle, ok I admit it doesn’t safe) they can always imagine a door or a window or even an elevator, I mean it’s my soul reality it’s whatever you think.
