POST is a text-based platform, hosting the words, notes and reflections of artists and members of the creative community, to form a collaborative narrative.

[The current narrative being formed collectively is titled:]

"Birds of a Feather Don't Always Flock Together"

During a period of global pandemic isolation, Zoom yoga, intensive baking, racial movements and the potential of four more years of dusty orange men, who are the unlikely allegiances you have made? The people who have kept you grounded, sane or made you want to shout up, scream or dance? Who or what has surprised you? Who are your people now? What have you lost to this new way of living, what have you gained? How has your identity changed forever in ways you hadn't anticipated during this intense period of momentum meets still, and who has it been by?

This feed is guest curated by Lissi Simpson. Simpson is a director, writer and designer who walks the line. In ethnicity, sexuality and whether she's into spicy food or not. Her sense of identity moves like a body of water: from white mothers to black fathers, dating girls to dating boys and all the questions this walking the line brings. As such, her work often navigates the theme of finding an identity, and how that identity changes over time; whether it is completely individual or intensely collective. She is curious about our constant need for a home, yet constant demand to find more than what we'd previously settled for.

We hope to receive your submissions. Thank you to everyone who has participated in POST to date. The feed started on the 19th April 2020, titled 'Notes from lockdown'. With the subsequent themes 'A new canon' and 'No is okay' (guest curated by Christian Watts), our narrative continues to grow. 54 creatives have contributed 202 posts to date.

Each month, the POST platform refreshes and hosts a different live feed, the themes of which are given as a loose seed for thought, and are open to your interpretation.
