The Global City Art Project - December 8th 2019
The Global City Art Project was launched in June 2019 at an International Women’s Breakfast organised by the Southside Partnership DLR (SSP). The project was facilitated by two community artists who worked with international and local women to come together and co-create their ideal global city.
All volunteer facilitators worked alongside the community artists and used different art media to explore issues such as:
* Our vision for where we live now
* What did we like about where we lived in other places of the world?
* What patterns are important in our culture?
* How do we build bridges and forge connections with each other?
The women transferred some of their work onto boxes, which were then used in the construction of the global city at the launch during DLR Social Inclusion Week on October 9th.
The project was very successful and participants found that it helped to raise their awareness of other cultures and was a way to explore new activities, meet people and create something special together.
A short video was produced that showcases the process and the final exhibition. To view the video please log on here.
