what’s going on here?

the long answer:

welcome to our project! olivia & summer here. you’re probably wondering what even is this? well, you may find it is ever changing…

one night in nyc, we were hanging out, talking about the world, our views, everything we love, what we’re excited for, and of course, everything that's ailing us. the common malaise we’ve both faced has been disillusionment. feeling out of touch, not because we can’t reach, but because there hasn’t felt like much to reach for. full of curiosity for this time in our lives, we are constantly met with a growing wall of unanswered questions.

maybe it's this time in our lives. maybe our saturns are returning, whatever that means. maybe we are just bored beyond repair. who knows? we talked about pop culture, the role of it in our generation, the speed with which it is replicated everywhere. we started talking about some of the art we liked that we wished had more eyes on it. we don’t want our voices to get lost in the haze of mass consumption, why not share our tastes and ideas and make some sound among the noise. we figured we can tell stories about how we feel and what we are thinking using media that moves us. who needs an algorithm for a discover weekly when we have this? and come on, doesn’t everyone want a mixtape made just for them?

so here we have the mixtape project. mixtapes, digital of course, but conceptually such. collections of art from the world that stand out to us in some way, make us feel something significant, things that we want to share with each other and with you. we land on a theme, curate a collection, craft our message, and share our discoveries. there are no high stakes to this project, simply a desire to discuss the seasons of life as they come and go.

all our love,
summer & olivia
