The 2019 Community Art Project focused on how humans can experience the exact same things with different perceptions and use the same materials to share different perspectives. Over 350 magical people engaged with the interactive experience.
All participants experienced a similar process:
shared the same prompts,
in the same space,
using the same materials,
within the same community.
Each participant painted in a small circle while reflecting on the project’s prompts. The prompts were colors, mathematical concepts, and even fun things to touch, like seashells and pine cones. Throughout the evenings the circular stencils were moved around on the concentric circles. What fun to watch others paint as they waited in line.
To finish, participants wrote down their perception, creating a map of people’s thoughts and perspectives while they participated. These will be displayed in the final installation.
