As a part of the School of Commons 2025 cohort, I spent most of 2025 participating in group online meetings, self-organized curriculum, artistic research, and a self-publishing process. The publication that houses the individual and collective work of our cohort is ISSUES 2025: Exquisite Commons. Inspired by the exquisite corpse exercise, we see our projects as anatomical parts of a composite body. This book, like our cohort, is defined by our diversity, yet united by our common values and our shared experiences.
