Dirt Emoji call for art
Gil Lopez
Even though dirt is where our food comes from, is where our bodies get buried when we die, and is literally everywhere we go, it is not represented yet in the emoji universe! Somehow we have emojis for unicorns, pufferfish, poodles and Santa Claus, but not dirt! Dirty Time is planning to try to correct this oversight and will be submitting a proposal for a dirt emoji to the Unicode foundation in 2024. But we need your dirty ideas!
What should the dirt emoji be? Submit your ideas by August 18, 2023 for inclusion in our Dirt Emoji Think Tank on Governor's Island (NYC) in September of 2023.
We will accept dirt emoji proposals in any format, digital, analog, 2d, 3d or 4d, performative, whatever!, and plan to exhibit them on Governor's Island in NYC from September 16 - 30th, with a rousing closing party for the exhibition where we'll award state fair/science fair style "ribbons" to proposals in multiple categories, host live emoji case-making and do public UX testing of some of the crowd favorites through our Emoji Think Tank.
Here's a slightly a corny video that gives some more background on this project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJabKCrWBnA

#####In SOILidarity,gil lopezI am based in the traditional territory of the Canarsie and Munsee Lenape, now called LIC, Queens. I acknowledge these Indigenous Custodians of the place in which I live, work and play. While colonization has largely extirpated these peoples, I recognize their continuing connection to land, water and community and pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging.
