GLOBAL INSIDE OUT PROJECT: BE THE CHANGE

Artistic Concept | Production | Promotion | Fundraising

BE THE CHANGE is a participatory art project uniting 15 countries and 26 cities around the world, which aims to visually share the stories of those who believe in change and living by example a more sustainable life, with respect for their natural and human environment. The Inside Out Project began with a wish by TED prize winner, JR, “to turn the world inside out”. Since JR’s initial project launched, the concept has grown and with BE THE CHANGE, 15 countries around the world have decided to unite as global citizens and simultaneously paste 5,000 portraits in the streets of their cities on September 21st and 22nd in honor of International Day of Peace. Be the Change | A Global Inside Out Action was born from the realization that climate change is not just about global warming, but about the human stories that unite us as world citizens. The global concept is about bringing people together from different fields, backgrounds and interests to create a unified message, which comes directly from the people for the people. Now more than ever, we have a responsibility to share our hopes and dreams in order to inspire real change.  The project is accompanied by a photography book publication.

MILAN RAI's WHITE BUTTERFLIES ATHENS

Production | Promotion

Can a white butterfly change the world?

During these times of accelerated globalization and rapid changes in our environment, where different bodies of power have become inscribed within our society and everything seems to be blocked by “over-regulations,” citizens are feeling un-invested and excluded from their daily environment.

Today there is an urgent need for us producers and artists to be engaged citizens and try to reorganize systems of urban interaction, as well as challenge the existing economic and political frameworks. Within our platform MELD, we decided to engage in what we call “urban art-upuncture.” By that, we mean small actions that allow vulnerable places within our society to emerge and blocked relationships to flow again.

The simple act of giving without expectation is stronger than a thousand bullets, or any chemical weapon of mass destruction. It touches our core values, no matter where we come from or who we are, in the universal language of empathy, hope and generosity, a language that seems to have been too often forgotten by our modern society. Milan Rai’s white butterflies have generated a breath of fresh air in our lives, inspiring us to change our world, for which we are eternally grateful.

 

CLIMATE CHANGE OPERA ARTISTIC (in progress)

Concept | Research Development | Production | Fundraising | Promotion

EARTH PATTERN POEMS

In 2015 – the year of the highly anticipated COP 21 climate talks in Paris – our responsibility will be sustaining the momentum from last year’s People’s Climate March and encourage even more people to participate in climate action. With Ban Ki-Moon stating that ours is the last generation to fight climate change, there is surely no better moment to bring in new voices and new stories to inspire climate action. CCO departs from the idea of articulating science through video art and will tackle one of the most pressing issues of our day –

CLIMATE CHANGE. Given the immensity of this issue and the upcoming COP21 in Paris this December, this project requires an ambitious platform for expression. Visual Artist, Shaun Gladwell, will use the structure of a traditional opera as an audio-visual language to translate, so to speak, the emotional impact of the of the scientific research on climate change as observed by Dr. Cynthia Rosenzweig and the research team at NASA/Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York
