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…”
Create a visual art map of how to get to your favorite spot. Be as realistic or abstract as you’d 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.
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.
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!).
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.
