PERSONAL PROJECT:
WALL THAT UNITES
Thanks to Trump, the word “wall” has become a symbol for division, hostility, and intolerance.
#WallThatUnites is a global art project for the people, by the people (well us). Its aim is to galvanize artists and people to create art with the theme of hope and unity on walls across the world. These walls would then be joined together digitally with the goal of besting the proposed Mexico border wall in size (over 1900 miles).
The wall will one day become a symbol to show the power of unity.
BACKGROUND:
The Trump wall was global news for over 2 years. A symbol for global division and hate.
Trump’s wall divides people, our wall unites them.
HOW IT WORKS:
Each wall is created, and then measured and tagged using our unique stencil. The length of each wall is then added to the cumulative total.
Featuring internationally renowned spoken word artist Oveous, we helped launch the idea with this powerful film. The unique microphone wall stencil, the centerpiece of an emotional spoken word film about the history of immigration in the US.
The goal is to trump Trump’s wall.
