JR talks about giving everyone the opportunity to change the world through art. You can upload your own photo to participate in the Inside Out project. This would be a really great project to do with a group of students! Check out the Website!

Here are the details:
INSIDE OUT is a large-scale participatory art project that transforms messages of personal identity into pieces of artistic work. Everyone is challenged to use black and white photographic portraits to discover, reveal and share the untold stories and images of people around the world. These digitally uploaded images will be made into posters and sent back to the project’s co-creators for them to exhibit in their own communities. People can participate as an individual or in a group; posters can be placed anywhere, from a solitary image in an office window to a wall of portraits on an abandoned building or a full stadium. These exhibitions will be documented, archived and viewable virtually.
very cool looking project. i agree it seems like something tailor-made for a classroom project. so many great connections to be made!
ReplyDeleteon a side note. i wish i could go to a TED talk. :)
I just had a classmate today present JR's work. I really like his stuff in Africa. He's also working on another project: http://www.womenareheroes-lefilm.com/site_womenareheroes/
