Driven by a powerful belief in the value of free expression, Sheryl Oring has been helping people become active citizens and voice concerns about public affairs through her "I Wish to Say" project since 2004. Her public art works include performances in which she sets up an office - complete with a manual typewriter - and invites people to dictate a postcard to the U.S. president. The originals are sent to the White House, while Oring keeps carbon copies for her archive. In 2024, some 20 years after launching the project in the San Francisco Bay Area, Oring is planning a series of performances in battleground states and beyond to document the historic presidential election.
