We have joined with world renowned artist JR in an “inside out” project. After winning the TED prize in 2011, JR expressed his wish to “change the world” by turning it 'inside out'. The project, inspired by JR's large format street pastings, is open for anyone to participate, anywhere in the world. The idea behind it is to place emphasis on the people and their stories behind each action, or cause. Our project involves taking pictures of Syrian Refugees via our partner refugee organization “UMOJA” in surrey; cropping said photos to ensure anonymity and pasting them (the installation of the posters). By using strictly black and white portraits, which are printed and then pasted in an exterior space, each group action can make a statement in the form of a public artwork and share their message with the rest of the world. The project's images will be posted on and outside of Seaquam Secondary in Delta, BC.
