Books Writing Project

Benita Joswig exhibited a creative art project (installation?) to the Bade Museum at PSR this past week. Entitled "Books Writing," this transnational and international project allows people to handwrite in a set of archive books (which are labeled under certain categories like Blood, City, Joy, Healing, Words, Me, etc., with chapters of the same categories). These books have been traveling and will be traveling all over the world. People have written private narratives, public histories, copied poetry, written letters, journal entries, anything, everything... There are theologians, students, artists, poets, cooks, activists, teachers, learners, mothers, daughters, rockers, punkers, etc. They have written their selves onto these pages, as a giving of their spirit.
