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…”
"Perfectly Imperfect" 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.
"Perfectly Imperfect" 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.
Put your poster out in the world! Give your zine or poster to a friend, family member, or passer-by in your neighborhood (as you feel comfortable with!).
Write a creative story responding to the prompt: “If someone were to step into your soul right now, what’s the story?”
The woods is the soul of the little town. It was known you should never enter the woods. No one knows why so the little girl was curious. One day aster school she walked to the entrance of the forest. The sky was dark, the crows were chirping and the air was cold.
“ the soul. I’m entering the soul. Let’s see how this is”. The little girl whispered to herself as she walked into the soul.
As she entered the woods was still really dark, the little girl kept hearing eerily sounds. “This place is not… I don’t like it here”.
“ why not go in further”. A small voice said
“ who said that?” The little girl asked, she turned around to see a small fairy in front of her.
“ hello my name is soul. I am the owner of this place. I know in the outside it could be scary but how about you come in”. The fairy flew past a large tree. When the little girl said followed, a huge light emerged. Once her eyes adjusted she saw a streamers, large lights, and a huge crowd of various fairies and animals hanging out.
“What is this place?”
“ the soul. Inside the soul you’ll find a loving space full of people. There’s food and music and a huge amount of love”
“ this is amazing!” the little girl shouted. “ can I come back here again?”
“ of course. Your always welcome!”
