Stolen Innocence: Artists Pay Homage to Children of Conflict.
Overview:
"Stolen Innocence" is a mobile art instillation that seeks to convey a powerful message of empathy and awareness by transforming a school bus into a canvas for artistic expression. Each artist involved will be assigned a seat and two “body bags”, symbolizing the children affected by conflict. (Their names will be written on the outside.) This will be integrated into the project to evoke a sense of urgency and reflection. (No body bags as of 1/31/24)
Concept:
The school bus, a universal symbol of innocence and childhood, will serve as a poignant canvas for artists to communicate their unique perspectives on the impact of conflict on children. The two “body bags” positioned within the bus will represent the loss and tragedy experienced by those who can only be called innocent.
Artistic Expression:
Artists will be given full creative freedom to express their thoughts, emotions, and reflections through their assigned seat. Whether through traditional painting, mixed media, or other forms of artistic expression. Each seat will contribute to a collective narrative that addresses the human cost of conflict and the need for us to act.
Public Engagement:
Once completed, the bus will embark on a public exhibition, traveling to various locations to engage diverse audiences. This mobile art installation aims to spark conversations about the humanitarian issues faced by children in conflict zones, fostering empathy and understanding.
Community Collaboration:
"Stolen Innocence" encourages collaboration with local communities and NGO’s to organize workshops and civil discussions around the themes explored in the project. This collaborative approach will amplify the impact of the project and promote a broader understanding of the global implications of conflict on children.
Partnerships:
We will not be affiliated with any organizations or groups but propose that we align with humanitarian organizations, art institutions, and community groups to raise awareness and support for initiatives addressing the needs of children affected by conflict. These partnerships will extend the project's impact beyond the artistic realm, and will contribute to positive change and advocacy.
Conclusion:
"Stolen Innocence" aims to transcend traditional boundaries, using an avant-garde approach to amplify the voices of artists and draw attention to the urgent need for compassion and action in the face of global conflicts that affect these innocent daydreamers. The Hungry, thirsty, scared, and alone. Through this project, we hope to foster empathy, inspire dialogue, and contribute to a collective effort in addressing the challenges faced by our most vulnerable community.
