Stencil from original photograph entitled Free Soup, Coffee and Doughnuts, (unattributed), 1931

A set of stencils cut from photos from the Great Depression and associated actions, a kind of performance or staging to reproduce depression era scenarios. I responded to a call for proposals from Jennifer Delos Reyes for a project called Create the Situation, a series of monthly pamphlets in a standardized format, 8 1/2 x 11 folded and stapled. As far as I know, the project stalled after the third issue. Their blog is here. But you can see and download my project here: JoblessMenKeepGoing_RLabossiere.pdf
