48-hour zine challenge

*click name for artwork

Rules/Guidelines-


*You must create a piece of work within the next 48 hours under the given theme.


*The work can be in any medium though keep in mind that the final submission needs to be web friendly. This is to say work that isn’t created digitally needs to be submitted via scan or photo documentation. Audio and video work should be sent in appropriate listening and viewing formats.We encourage you to tackle these documentation discrepancies later on as the real magic we want to explore together is that of spontaneous creation :)


*The process is permitted to be informed by prior or ongoing methods of creation, though no work should be a continuation of a current work in process. We encourage you to create something shiny and new!

The Brief -

Here we have some food for thought:
*How do we find our own rebirth in the freshness of spring?
*How do we resonate with the blossoms scraping and tumbling about down the road?
*Can we respond to the sublime quality of sound the ticklish wiggle of leaves make on a tree?
*Can we through imitation of the movement of a beetle find a piece of divinity?
*How do we emote to the fierce fragility of some artifacts we’ve collected on a walk?
*Can we feel the undertones of melancholy in the wilted daisies on our kitchen table?


Find a mirror of yourself in something. We suggest dedication of time to sit with your subject/object/concept without analysis or conventional judgments. Just be with what makes you curious, what is holding your attention in the realm of the natural, and then when you feel ready to enter into a dialogue with it, approach with tenderness to the process and a sense of discovery.


We highly encourage you to test yourself and try new things in the next two days. Maybe you have never written a poem before… well now is the perfect time to start! We are so excited to see all the paintings, smartphone pictures, music, short stories, arts and crafts, mindmaps, sculptures, dances and doodles that ya’ll are going to produce.
