Since about a month now, I started on a new art project of mine, based on my own creative idea that includes a cultural anthropological approach with a beautiful result: a poster that includes a written paragraph of the participant, pictures of participant and myself placed together like a collage under the written paragraph that would portray the participant in an authentic manner but highlights how unique the participant is. Everyone who would read the written portrait would recognize pretty quickly who it is describing.
I am still looking for participants (anyone can participate, there are no requirements lol) and those who participate do not need to have it published, they can just keep it for themselves and hang it up at home somewhere, for example. With my art project, I want to contribute to a good cause that aims for more compassion, in particular, more mutual understanding & respect towards different people, cultures, genders, generations, religions, etc. Everyone deserves to feel acknowledged, recognized, valued and respected for who they are with their individual backgrounds, lifestyles and viewpoints on life even if it’s different than "our" own.
If you are interested in participating and preferably are in or close to Dallas, TX., just send me a message over Messenger or in the comments section below. PS: We can meet somewhere in the public (and a safe place for both me and the participant), will ask you 2-3 questions, it won’t take much of your time, (I promise) and then we make a couple pics together to select the best ones to use for your written personalized portrait (shoutout). It doesn’t have to be published (only on my Facebook wall and on my website), if the participant doesn’t want to. Each participant gets to keep their own copy. Each copy will be an authentic representation of the individual participant. Plus, It’s all for free!
Yes. it's great to learn more cultures. My first one was Sierra Leone. 🇸🇱
