Congratulations and Celebrations
@congratulationsandcelebrations (Instagram) is a mail art project that asks participants to consider what it means to engage in an act of courage, and then emboldens that act by loaning out a power object LABRYS SWEATER to wear for its performance. Over 100 people have checked out the garment and submitted photographs of themselves acting courageously amidst a climate of marked social and political unrest. Please consider participating yourself!
