About the work
Care-Shares are care-backed investment notes printed on uncashed check that Auntie Sister wrote to Keith between 2012 and 2018. Keith never deposited these checks and instead looked for other ways to utilize the value contained within them. Care-Shares are an experiment in how we hold, trade, and share value. The idea is to create a care-based crypto currency in the future, with the Care-Shares being sold for seed funds.
