ritual cools the head.: a public reminder


throughout the
sweltering & sticky days
of august 2019,
we spread our message
throughout some of our most
frequented streets in Bed-Stuy.

recognize these locations
or have spotted one in your hood? #GETCONNECTED to us
on instagram (@theblackconnection)
to let us know where you saw us
& the ritual that cools your head.


ritual cools the head.: a public ritual exchange

ritual cools the head:
a public ritual exchange
is an interactive project that honors
the rituals that exist within
the tasks, routines, and practices
of everyday life & invites participants
to share those rituals
with one another.

designed to take place
in any public setting,
participants are invited to write down
a ritual focused on a specific theme
(i.e self care) then exchange that ritual
with another person.
