ABOUT UNSUNG PROJECTS

Unsung Projects is a would-be album of unrealised poetic projects to intervene in public spaces; the dormant states of these projects might be conscientiously elected, pointed gestures in of themselves, or the result of contributors' lack of funds, collaborators, materials, space, time, and/or permissions necessary to bring them to fruition.  The initiative emerges out of a concern that the diminishing complexity of public communication is increasingly limiting our range of practicable personal, local, and global action. 

The principles that guide Unsung Projects are:

a.) intention and means are significant;

b.) "quality" — e.g, sensitive, shrewd, ethical — practice rebuffs absolutism; and

c.) all creative experimentation and/or activism warrants a communiqué.

Anyone is welcome to contribute to the album; all contributors will retain copyright of their work, and will be appropriately credited.
