Another curious example of a small thing to change the world.
Rise & Fall, an art exhibit that will feature art interpreting the theme ‘bringing down walls/breaking down barriers’ (both literally and symbolically). “Artists, from amateur to professional, are invited to submit digital versions of their art along with a short description of what ‘bringing down walls’ means to them – either as directly related to the Berlin Wall or on a more symbolic, personal, cultural or social level. The goal is to create an interactive environment that celebrates freedom without barriers and what that looks like to all kinds of people.” (from Artist’s Meeting Place)
The idea could be expanded to include all kinds of art*
*~~I like this idea~~*
What does a world without walls mean to you?

Are you going to submit some art? I think it would be great…
A world without walls- intimacy. Connection. team work.

Thank you Starrlife!
Intimacy eh? To me that would mean being less afraid. Connection – does that require trust? Conversation? Getting to know each other? And, teamwork – taking risks, being willing to step into the fray….together?
hmmm….what image comes to mind here?
Thought about submitting art to this project – but thinking more about hosting a similar project locally or statewide.
