100 days of practice

I am joining “100 days of making,” per invitation of my dear friend Sylvia Juliana Riveros Torres, an incredible Colombian artist-scholar-organizer currently based in New York city. “100 days of making,” which Sylvia started as an individual practice in “100 días of dibujitos,” is a challenge—or an invitation, to embark on a low-stakes 100-day-long creative practice. The goal is to allow oneself to make one thing a day and be open to what emerges, while trying to sustain rigor in the continuity and to initial parameters one sets for oneself.

My parameters are:

• What: “Todas la formas de moverme” (“All the ways/forms in which I move”)

• How: Generate a daily record of my movement, understood expansively, in different media

• “Enabling Constraints” (Castro, 2007): Try different media, don’t over-think (“make” in about 30 minutes)
