Having performed and written under many pseudonyms*, sgp is currently working on a piece about (student) debt and public/private partnerships by enrolling in Hunter’s MFA program. Upon graduation, the artist will attempt to sell her public school debt as an art object, without disclosing how much she may or may not owe. This is her final year of the ongoing project, forthcoming May 2022. The resulting contract(s) will be an open edition, with the potential to be duplicated for use by any student - until such contracts would be rendered moot by student debt cancellation. (*including, but not limited to: Sara Grace Powell, Kelsea Wollffllotterr, and Lee G. Rawls).

Debt Archive is a platform for sharing your personal testimonies around student debt; its effects on you, your career, education, and/or the general trajectory of your life. These stories are being collected into a digital archive that will live past this current crisis and serve as a lesson to future generations on the devastating effects of educational financialization as well as a blueprint for transforming this broken system into one that works for the holistic benefit of our entire society not just for the accounting sheet of a few billionaires. All contributions will be accepted on a rolling basis! Direct contributions can be sent to humantrashdump AT gmail DOT com.By submitting a story/digital files to us, you agree to have your work published to <a href="http://archive.org/details/@human_trash_dump" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">HUMAN TRASH DUMP</a>’s digital repository where the digital files you submitted will be viewable and downloadable to the public.

Debt is an archive, a series of transactions, and promissory notes. There is no comfort in debt. When debt takes control, there is a toll. Higher education is a privilege when it should be a right. Control is maintained under the guise of academic decorum and professionalism. This structure falsely preys on the physical and psychological states of a student. How students keep a sense of personal control and self-worth depends upon their perception of reality. We add our names to the long list of those demanding the cancelation of debt we are asking you to join us.
