SEEDS and art in EXCHANGE FOR YOUR VISION OF THE FUTURE
In exchange for taking the seeds and packet/poster, I am asking for anonymous voice recordings or writings from people towards a future project focusing on the exploration of what people see, envision and hope for this country’s future.
Drawing on inspiration from projects such as Studs Turkel’s ‘Hard Times’ and the recordings of Moses Asch’s Folkway Records, I want to revise/revist what the “AMERICAN DREAM” is through recordings and sound collages of as many different “Americans” as possible (“Americans” meaning: any/all people that live in the United States of America and/or the rest of the Americas: citizens of any nation).
In asking for this vision of the “American Dream” (from within or outside of the USA), I hope to creatively present recordings that share, attempt to understand, consider and reconcile, positive and/or pre and ill-conceived notions of one another in the 2020’s amidst an atmosphere of media-fueled socio-cultural hooliganism.
I am asking for a micro and a macro consideration from you:
MICRO: what makes you "happy", what do you see positively happening today? What inspires you amidst a period of chaos in our history?
MACRO: what do you want/ENVISION for the future?
Please email voice recordings (super easy to do on a phone) to: urbanyettiart@gmail.com
