Here's how it works:
You select 2-5 posts from the LA River X collection. You can find your own, or ask curator Tilly Hinton to create a shortlist of options for you.
You write a mini essay for Instagram about why you chose those posts and what thoughts and reactions they provoke for you.
LA River X pays you a small honorarium ($100) to say thanks.
Your perspectives are added to the LA River X collection, and are archived in the Western Water Archives at The Claremont College Library.
Respond now to get involved!
Search and/or meander around the LA River X collection in the Western Water Archives to find your prompts. Make a list of the links to your selections.
Write your mini-essay for Instagram. Your length limit is ~450 words, which will be published as an Instagram caption and first comment.
Provide a bio statement and a headshot photo.
If you have writers' block and would rather talk, we could do an Instagram live instead. Reach out!
