A Weekly Postcard Project
209 Weeks is a weekly postcard art project that will take place during Trump’s second term.
Despite the 2024 presidential election results, I believe that most people truly care about others. To remind myself of that truth, I am proposing a postcard based art project to help us connect with each other and make it through four more years of Trumpism. But I need your help. I want to gather your words of sustenance—your favorite quotes, lines of poetry, affirmations, reminders that feed and fuel you—and send those words on to someone else.
I will combine these words of sustenance with photography to create 209 unique postcards, one for each week of the presidential term. Each week, someone who has submitted their own words to the project will receive a postcard with someone else’s words on it. You can learn more here.
If you’re interested in participating, please fill out the form below. Thank you!
