Look What We Made

And I have presented it to you as a memorial and as a reminder [a memorial and a reminder, the one and the other at once, the one in the other, and we have, perhaps, in the economy of these two words the whole of archival law]

from Derrida's Archive Fever, pg. 23

If you know someone whose creative work is epoch-making, tell me about them. These are your teachers, cousins, peers & friends, someone who posted online, a community voice or a neighbor. (Find my entry below as a sample while I work on this page.)

Before you nominate someone: this form is for suggestions only. Submitting someone’s name does not mean they will be published, featured, contacted, or added to the archive automatically. I review nominations first, and anyone considered for a larger feature will be asked for their own consent separately.

What did they make, build, write, post, teach, organize, or create that captures something true about life in this millennium? This could be a specific project, a body of work, or a form of care/community memory.

Website, social media, portfolio, article, public project page, or another public way to find their work. Please do not submit private contact information unless you have permission.

Friend, teacher, cousin, peer, neighbor, mutual, fan, community member, online follower, etc.

For example: name changes, privacy concerns, minors, family/community sensitivity, grief, location details, or work that should be approached gently.

Submission agreement * ``` ```

nominations are processed through Formspree and sent to alejandra@hotwheelsandhighheels.com
