Caroline Woolard, Ofcice = Action (Ceiling Tile Megaphone), paper, 23-7/8 x 23-7/8 x 3 inches, 2022. carolinewoolard.com/project/ceiling-tile-megaphone/

For curated and produced by the Curatorial Collective for Public Art and SUPERMARKT Berlin

° This disruptive object uses the international measurement standard and capitalist staple structure of the office ceiling tile. The paper form and open source CAD file is an offer to anyone wishing to interrupt banal bureaucratic routines.

° "What excites me is the possibility that an object can produce a shared meaning within the context of a gathering." Woolard

° Light, easily constructed and portable this megaphone reminds us that we have a voice, that playful interruption is still interruption, and even if this isn't appropriate, what might be?

° No video file of how effective a paper megaphone is? Does this matter, or is it the intention and affect of the object as distruption which is at the heart.

Caroline Woolard defines what it means to be a solidarity economy artist - Creative Exchange

The work of Springboard for the Arts is rooted in arts-based economic and community development. We believe artists are critical …

“What might be called an “alternative” economy in the United States is known globally as the solidarity economy. This term emerged in the global South (as economia solidária) in the 1990s and is also called the community economy, the workers’ economy, the social economy, the new economy, the circular economy, the regenerative economy, the local peace economy, and the cooperative economy. It is recognized globally as a way to unite grassroots practices like lending circles, credit unions, worker cooperatives, and community land trusts to form a base of political power. The solidarity economy is a system that places people before profit, aiming to distribute power and resources equitably.”

Really enjoyed this article/interview.

“I believe that we, as artists, need to learn to think organizationally in order to imagine how our artwork and ideas might circulate in the world, and to take action. I believe that we can work together as artists to create opportunities for ourselves and for one another. I made this framework to think through the way I work, on multiple scales, using a tree as a metaphor. “
