SHELF LIFE is a series of actions and a starting point for examining larger systems of power a reader might overlook for the merits or enjoyment of an individual book. These actions invite you to reflect on how your collected knowledge may be incomplete, even if there are some sections that feature a diversity of voices. Are there other areas where you may need to seek out more authors, resources, or publishers, and continue expanding your perspectives?
SHELF LIFE notably asks readers to sticker categories of books that might otherwise be viewed as normative, therefore the unmarked, invisible center.
