MINIMAL ACTION
is work that comes from a deep insight/teaching that says "i am no home".
it is a series of actions done in response to our current provincial government's
abrasive handling of social assistance, poverty and disability.
the actions are called minimal because they are tiny compared to the massive overpowering
we experience on social assistance, because they are the least and the most we can do as gestures
that foster self-respect without falling into ableist activism, because they are close to the
flesh and survival that our minds have learnt to be reduced to through our socio-economic paths, because
they are trying to invent the dignity and the sense of belonging that most of
us do not know or feel.
