Seasaw launched on June 1st, 2023. It's a weekly e-mail link drop covering various topics around Seattle. As media has become corporatized, deep-faked, and a mental health issue, we wanted a creative way to share our lens of Seattle without getting our news through social media. We have found our information diet more intentional.
Interactive Exhibit, 2015
In partnership with the Catskill Arts Society, the Ohisos created a community-driven, interactive exhibition entitled Exquisite Corpse of the Catskills. It included an open call to visual artists of the Catskills and Hudson Valley of New York State to participate in a parlor game turned art exhibition modeled after the Surrealist game Exquisite Corpse.
The exhibition garnered local press in The River Reporter, Watershed Post and Catskill Made. Exhibition ran June 5 to August 2, 2015.

Public Art Project, 2013
The Ohisos launched a public art project on Main Street in Liberty, NY to engage the community in the future of a major building. The wall asked the community their thoughts. The walls read, "I would like this storefront to become..." in both English and Spanish. This wall was born in January 2013 and is featured on the Before I Die website. The project garnered a lot of local media attention.
Interactive Exhibit, 2016
Taking an empty vacant storefront on a depressed part of a small town’s Main Street and creating foot traffic by asking the local community to grab a marker and Post-It note, doodle on it, and add to the communal art wall.
