The Cost of American Convenience
For Keep Writing number 161, Antero Garcia and Alix Dick brought an idea to me. A researcher at Stanford University (and longtime subscriber to the Keep Writing project) and a filmmaker, they collaborated on text for this card, and sent their ideas to me. The invoice idea was all theirs. Their project combines historic letterpress aesthetic and important modern questions. The cost of living in America, especially as an immigrant, is a foil to the Land of the Free narrative.
I loved their idea, and I especially love new ideas for Keep Writing. It is refreshing to have someone else offer the question. I love this format for collecting research and hope to collaborate with other researchers in the future.
