dear Anahi,
I wrote to you over a week ago with a request to publish online a couple of emails that you contributed to. I just wanted to reiterate my request for you to consent to this request, or refuse it.
My best,
Josh

dear Anahi,
While we were never formally introduced, I worked with FCG on The Employee project from 2020-2021. I am currently in the process of publishing the outcomes and archives of the work. As part of this work, I plan to publish the complete email archive of correspondence around the project. I am writing to ask your permission to reproduce the emails that were exchanged with the employee Camille Valcourt Synnott during the project, which I hope to include in the project documentation. This material will be published online.
The project as a whole became about making overwork and burnout within the arts visible. These issues are not clearly articulated in single events, but accumulate over small increments.
I want to publish an archive of the email correspondence generated by the project as completely as possible as a way to show the quantity of work involved in the project, and also the intersection of work with personal life, which was more prevalent than ever during the pandemic.
I have attached the exact documents I wish to reproduce to this email. I do not intend to publish anything other than what is included below. Please read these over and let me know if you would consent to allow me to use these documents. If you do not consent, or want anything else removed, please let me know as well. I am completely open to redacting or partially redacting content according to your comfort level. I would greatly appreciate it if I could hear back from you by next week, and will keep in touch to let you know when the project is published.
warm wishes,
Joshua Schwebel
