Representatives at the office were not responding to my emails or phone calls, so I decided to go with generous snail mail. The gift boxes I made included handmade masks with the Free the Vaccine logo on it and coffee cups with the University of Texas logo on them (except I changed their tagline from &#8220;What starts here changes the world&#8221; to &#8220;What starts here SAVES the world&#8221;. It also included beautiful flyer of the Open Covid Pledge, article from the World Health Organization advocating for the pledge, and an imaginary cover of TIME Magazine with UT Pharmacy&#8217;s faces (see images).<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"interpretive_statement_container\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><!-- no interpretive statement for this work --><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-ccp-primary-dark-color has-ccp-secondary-light-background-color has-text-color has-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h5 class=\"has-ccp-primary-dark-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">STRATEGIES: <\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/freethevaccine.org\/exhibit\/tag\/be-generous\/\" rel=\"tag\">Be generous<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/freethevaccine.org\/exhibit\/tag\/popular-culture\/\" rel=\"tag\">Connect with popular culture<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/freethevaccine.org\/exhibit\/tag\/surprise\/\" rel=\"tag\">Surprise!<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-ccp-white-color has-text-color has-ccp-secondary-background-color has-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h5 class=\"has-ccp-white-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">TRY THIS:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Make a version for your target.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Objective:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main objective was to get representatives from the Technical Transfer Office at the University of Texas to respond to me, so that we can start a discussion about the Open Covid Pledge, on how to pledge making their research for COVID-19 free \/ available to all and how to make their therapeutics for COVID-19 sustainably priced. My tactic was to take a generous approach, to show that the Austin community deeply cares about their researchers&#8217; efforts in ending the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text

watched Sarah Corbett&#8217;s TED Talk on &#8220;craftivism&#8221;. This really inspired me to make a gift box for my targets. I did not really personalize the crafts to the targets themselves, but will try this the next time. Meaning, I will do more research on the targets &#8211; their interests, hobbies, history, etc. &#8211; and incorporate these elements into the crafts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What were some of the responses to this work?<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, I still did not get a response from the Technical Transfer Office. I actually cannot even confirm if they received the packages. Hence why I am considering sending another gift box&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:freeform --><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Austin<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":1171,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[27,33,24],"materials":[8,21],"license":[10],"exhibition_possibilities":[23,14,15],"class_list":["post-1177","works","type-works","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-be-generous","tag-popular-culture","tag-surprise","materials-fabric","materials-image-graphic","license-cc0","exhibition_possibilities-an-original-object-can-be-provided-for-exhibition","exhibition_possibilities-original-files-can-be-provided-for-exhibition","exhibition_possibilities-the-work-can-be-reproduced-on-site-with-instructions"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/freethevaccine.org\/exhibit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/works\/1177","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/freethevaccine.org\/exhibit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/works"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/freethevaccine.org\/exhibit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/works"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freethevaccine.org\/exhibit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/freethevaccine.org\/exhibit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/works\/1177\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1312,"href":"https:\/\/freethevaccine.org\/exhibit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/works\/1177\/revisions\/1312"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freethevaccine.org\/exhibit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1171"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/freethevaccine.org\/exhibit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freethevaccine.org\/exhibit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1177"},{"taxonomy":"materials","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freethevaccine.org\/exhibit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/materials?post=1177"},{"taxonomy":"license","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freethevaccine.org\/exhibit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/license?post=1177"},{"taxonomy":"exhibition_possibilities","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freethevaccine.org\/exhibit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition_possibilities?post=1177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
