Submission Deadline: January 25th, 2025
Project Overview:
I invite individuals from all walks of life to participate in a collaborative performance art piece.
Drawing from my experiences as both an educator and a perpetual student, this project seeks to capture the excitement and discovery inherent in creative assignments. It’s also an homage to the playful, interactive tradition of mail art.
Participants are invited to submit instructions for performance actions via snail mail. This project not only opens the door for a variety of ideas to emerge from unexpected sources but also underscores the value of community in the creative process. By reaching out to any and all collaborators in this egalitarian fashion, it provides a platform for voices that might otherwise go unheard, fostering a collective artistic journey that transcends individual boundaries.
How to Participate:
Send Your Instructions: Write, draw, or provide directions for a performance action on a piece of paper no bigger than letter size (8.5 X 11)
Mail It: Send your paper to the following PO Box address:

Project Overview:
This performance is part of a program “Undoing the Archive” on January 31, 2025 in conjunction with the exhibition, an archive and/or a repertoire, January 29–April 20, 2025, at the Tufts University Art Galleries (TUAG) and Mobius Artists Group, which celebrates the rich history of Mobius’s work since c. 1975. The theme of the event, "archive," invites Mobius Artists Group and participants to explore the layers of creativity and community that have been cultivated over decades, while also reckoning with the gaps, erasures, and elisions in the archive.
