Staple Board: Always Stop to Draw the Tree, existing community bulletin board, staples, vinyl, 2020-2021
Staple Board is a community bulletin board erected in James Madison Park to connect neighbors to one another through various timely print materials. Stapled to the board, one can find gig posters, upcoming neighborhood festivals, missing pet flyers, and calls for the cause or local art spaces.
Staple Board: Always Stop to Draw the Tree is a catalyst to encourage passersby, neighbors, and even those who won’t be able to visit in-person to pause their routine, reflect on their surroundings, and contemplate their place within it all.
Lean into asking all the questions.
Listen and reflect on the conversations.
Because learning and unlearning happens in real life.
Uncover the connections, it’s the only way forward.
Sponsored by Downtown Madison, Inc.
Thank you to the many anonymous neighbor collaborators.
