we must be very strong/and love each other/in order to go on living
Published by Women’s Studio Workshop in Rosendale NY, accordion-folded, edition of 60, 7in x 9in, 2021.
“we must be very strong/and love each other/in order to go on living,” was written about the twin crises of the global pandemic and police brutality from April to June 2020. Inspired by mass uprisings calling for racial justice, the piece includes personal reflections of the changing seasons, complemented by accounts of protests attended or witnessed by the artist in her neighborhood. Experiences are charted as they unfold in real time over the first few months of our new reality. This limited edition accordion-folded piece comes with a display mat for fanning out on a flat surface, and a printed band to hold in place on a bookshelf. Originally commissioned for The Laundromat Project’s Creative Action Fund digital initiative. Follow this link to listen to audio of the artist reading the piece.
