Thursday 10/8/20: Speak Out/Be Seen

What concerns you?  What are you passionate about? What do you wish you could change? What story do you think needs to be seen or heard?

SPEAK OUT, BE SEEN

The objective: use photography to document or express your ideas, thoughts, feelings, or a story.  You can use just photography or combine with other mediums (painting, drawing, writing, sculpture, performance, etc…).

The Challenge:

We all share a common need to be seen and heard. Every day we see evidence of people or groups who have the ability to control and validate where and how they and others are seen, we see it in architecture, magazines, billboards, movies, and marquees. The challenge is for you to tag and transform items in your everyday life. Mark up any object or surface you wish — stake your territory, with tags, poetry, song lyrics or images. Use stickers, patches, photographs.  Claim your truth, your identity, your story.

Essentially the challenge involves transforming everyday objects, surfaces and landscapes with your personal voice.

The top 25 pieces will receive a Pee Chee Memorial Folder by Patrick Martinez!
