This art initiative is now open for public participation. Submissions to the sculpting, reading and reflecting challenges will be accepted through June 2021 at amherst.edu/go/solidaritybook.
#SolidaritySculpting Challenge
Sculpt the iconic solidarity fist into pages of a book that has shaped your understanding of solidarity. Then mail in your sculpted book to feature in the project’s final exhibition: a communal monument to solidarity.
Make a Book with Sonya Clark
Clark is hosting virtual make-with sessions where she’ll make books in community with participants. If you’re unsure about how to get started, or you get stuck along the way, join in. To sign up for a session, go to amherst.edu/go/solidaritybook.
Done With Your Book?
The College will cover postage fees for you to mail completed books to be included in the final exhibition designed by Clark. See amherst.edu/go/solidaritybook for instructions on how to mail in your book.
#SolidarityReading Challenge
Share an excerpt or read and record (audio or video) from a book that shaped your understanding of solidarity. Please keep your submissions to fewer than 60 seconds or fewer than 100 words.
#SolidarityReflection Challenge
Post an audio, video or written response to “What does solidarity mean to you?” or “How has someone in your life been a model of solidarity for you or for others?”
