the Pandemic is a participatory project that unfolds simultaneously as an installation at Headlands Center for the Arts and on social media. It creates a collective space to voice the questions that come up as the pandemic shapes our lives. Join in creating this space by sharing your questions — specifically, write them on Post-it notes! For each question received, a Post-it will be added to a large wall in the installation. This format is inspired by Lennon Walls all over the world, that are covered with Post-it notes carrying public expressions as a form of social statement. With the the Pandemic virtual "wall", anyone, anywhere can contribute questions and see what others are asking.
======>>>>> TO PARTICIPATE:
Write down your question on a 3”x3” post-it note and share it with us—digitally or by snail mail. Ask as many questions as you like—just one question per sticky note. Feel free to submit more than once. Include some identifying info (optional) with your submission — first name, age, city &/or state, to help give a sense of the project community. For digital submissions, include this in the caption. For snail mail, pls include on a separate note along with your Post-it. Share your questions in any of the following ways, or combine digital submission with snail mailing the actual sticky note(s):
//// INSTAGRAM - Write your question on a sticky note, snap a photo, and post on your Instagram with hashtag and tag in your caption along w/ any identifying info. Make sure your written question is legible and the Post-it is identifiable. Otherwise feel free to get creative!
//// EMAIL - Email photo of your sticky as attachment to: [email protected] with “ ” in the subject line, and we'll post it on Instagram. Include any identifying info you’d like to share.
//// MAIL - Mail your sticky note(s) to: Ask the Pandemic, P.O. Box 460808, San Francisco, CA 94146-0808, by October 20. If you’d like to get friends and family in on the project, you can send your group’s post-it notes all together. Include any identifying info you’d like to share.
//// WHAT TO ASK? Whatever you'd like to ask the Pandemic — but No abusive, libelous, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable language or content.
///// WHEN IS THIS HAPPENING? The installation will come down at the end of October—please be sure to mail any actual Post-it questions for receipt by October 20. We want to reach a critical mass of sticky notes AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, covering as much of the installation wall as we can in this limited time.
====>>>>> SHARE WIDELY! Get your friends and community involved!
