...a call to artists ...
Fairy Tales, lullabies, and nursery rhymes have been part of the human oral tradition since the beginning of time.
These stories meant to relay warnings are able to breach time, country, and culture. They are found in all wakes of life - country to county, city to village, rich to poor, they directly relate to our common humanity, allowing our ancestors to whisper love and caution into our ears as easily as strangers on the other side of the planet.
Our stories are theirs, and theirs ours.
A reminder that we are all indeed connected - to yesterday, to today, to the future, and most importantly - to each other. This project will pair writers and artists across the globe for a fresh look at old tales. In the retelling of these words-to-the- wise it gives us the opportunity to gently warn the innocent, encourage the disenfranchised, and sometimes remind those who are able, that they should offer empathy to those in need.
This is a call to artists, visual and writers, to share their favorite tale
traditional or contemporary
for a global pairing of artists
The work will be exhibited in a still to be determined location in the US
