The Blair Bush Project (BBP) is a CITY+SUBURBAN studios (Johannesburg) initiative. BBP, orchestrated by artists nathaniel stern and Christian Nerf, is a Public Investigation seeking the opinions of world citizens in the current sociopolitical climate. Snippets of evidence are posted to the web in the form of video and sans-copyright (reproducible) images. The Blair Bush Project is a Johannesburg-based, international forum for input and output surrounding the WW-III discourse.

Call for participation:

The Blair Bush Project poses an opportunity for world citizens to contribute their opinion in the form of video, sound, images or text. Note that although ownership will remain with the contributor, all content is sans-copyright and available for www distribution.

Video: may be in any compression format, but must be under 1MB. Note that we may re-compress. Please email before sending. If you would like to include a larger video, you may upload it to your own server, and email us the address; we will then house it in our format and link to your site.

Sound: may be in any compression format, but must be under 1MB. Note that we may re-compress. Please email before sending. If you would like to include a larger sound piece, you may upload it to your own server, and email us the address; we will then house it in our format and link to your site.

Images: our preferred images are 72dpi, smaller than 8 x 10, and JPEG or GIF compressed, for the web. These images will be used for printable posters and/or t-shirts on The Blair Bush site. Other images may be sent for use in new video footage.

Text: You may send us your stories, opinion pieces, or slogans for use in varying media. Format may be MS Word, text email, html, or scanned in letters (please compress for web).

Video + Sound will be viewed online, whereas images may be printed out and used as posters/t-shirts. For example, if you send us a poster from Tokyo, a New Yorker may print it out from our site for personal use. Your text may be uploaded in its original format, and/or read as a sound piece. At your permission, we may edit visuals and sound into larger works.

We strongly encourage the use of our content in local spaces.
