Art Can Really Change The World

We hear around us, on social media, tv, online magazines how art changes the world and inspires people. But people don't understand how this is happening and how we can contribute. In a TED talk I learnt about a street artist who inspired me to think outside the box when it came to art and to exceed you limits in art.

JD takes pictures of people, makes posters out of them and pastes them around the city. It first started in Paris a year later his photos had gone from being just photos to an exhibition in the city hall.

During the Middle east conflict he decided to go there to see for himself how it was He decided to take portraits that show Palestinian and an Israelis doing the same job, put these photos next to each other in 16 Israeli and Palestinian cities. This was the biggest illegal art exhibition however the outcome was shocking. Nobody could not tell who was who. The point was to show that we are all same no matter our identity. This project was called Face to Face and 4 years later these photos still stayed up which proved the impossible was easily possible. best online magazine

He then traveled to places with no museum and art. He was inspired to make a project about men paying tribute to woman “Woman areheros”. He went to a favela in Rio where a tragic incident had taken place, three kids was brutally murdered. He started taking photos of the family that were linked to the kids that were killed. The artist was trying to show the energy and life of the favela and to shout out the story of the three kids to create awareness. These photos were pasted all around the favela, attention came from media, online magazine and various social groups.

Sierra Leone,Kenya, Sudan are examples of few of other places he traveled taking pictures. In some slums he decided to cover roofs of houses by printing the images on vinyl instead. Soon everywhere around the world; New York, London India, people wanted their photo to be taken, their story to be heard and travel the world.

This inspiring artist has exceeded limits in helping and making a change in the world with no NGO or any organizational support. All he wants for help is for people to participate, by taking pictures about their passions and sharing them online on his site Inside Out. modern woman magazine
