*In light of the continued global crises such as the prolonged pandemic, this project is now accepting submissions on a rolling basis indefinitely.*

We call for instructional art that reflects on and responds to the current global crises, most notably pandemics and climate change. Following the legacy of Fluxus event scores and performance instructions, this project aims to facilitate the sharing of creative responses to the changing world.

‘Infected’ with a sense of urgency and a desire for change, we welcome instructional art that can help us reflect on our past errors, respond to the present crises, and envision a different future in various styles and approaches—poetic, ironic, absurd, humorous, whimsical, practical, self-reflexive, poignant, compassionate. Ultimately, however, we hope our instructions to be transformative in some way for those who perform them.

While our collection of instructions may be used for educational purposes, please note that this project does not necessarily call for classroom assignments designed to teach certain ‘skills’ in a traditional sense. Instead, we invite more open-ended instructions that imagine the possibility of reshaping the normal.

Accepted instructions will be archived online for anyone to freely access and perform in their own ways. Participating artists and their instructions may be invited later to be a part of future exhibitions, books, mail art, or conference panels for a broader transmission of ideas.
