FREEDOM NOW Global Art Exchange & Exhibit 2015 online album!
On
March 18th, 2015, Guria launched the FREEDOM NOW Global
Art Exchange & Exhibit! 39
schools
around the world (in
Angola,
Brazil, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Montenegro, Romania, Senegal,
South Africa, Switzerland, and the U.S.)
educated
students about human trafficking, created
art about human trafficking, exchanged
their art with each other around the globe, and finally put on
student art exhibits in their respective schools.
With
the schools permission, we have compiled an online album of 66
paintings, containing at least one painting from each school.
Now
we are sharing the album with all
of you!
When resources allow us, we will get this published and send it to
all the schools that participated. We
hope this act of solidarity of hundreds of children/students
worldwide will grab the attention of the globe, and demand that real
action
be taken against human trafficking. The
project will empower and educate all parties involved – children
affected by trafficking, teachers, students themselves, and many
more. Together,
we will demonstrate the power of youth to make change, and the power
of art to transcend borders and celebrate plurality.
FREEDOM
NOW Art Exchange
& Exhibit
is
a part of Guria’s ongoing worldwide campaign, “FREEDOM NOW,”
that raises awareness about modern-day slavery through music, art,
marches, and media. Please
contact us if your school/student group/youth club/organization
wishes to participate in the FREEDOM NOW Global Art Exchange &
Exhibit 2016. Questions and suggestions are always welcome!
