A.I.R. PROMPTS FOR PRACTICE: Daily False Twins

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic which is keeping all of us at home for our own safety and the safety of others, A.I.R. has been envisioning ways of maintaining connection outside of the physical gallery setting. In the spirit of intimacy without proximity, we invite you to connect in the ways that we still can, to foster continued, persistent dialogue and community even in the face of fear, isolation, and uncertainty. Drawing its title from a book of the same name by Donna Haraway, STAYING WITH THE TROUBLE: PROMPTS FOR PRACTICE is a prompt-based art project that will span six weeks.
