My Wish: To use the world to turn the world inside out


  • Speaker- JR a semi-anonymus French artist
  • My Wish: To use the world to turn the world inside out
    • You can’t save the world
    • But you can change the world
  • Politics, business and technology can change the world
    • Sometimes not in a way that’s very empowering to the people
  • JR was slightly changing the world by
    • Graffiti art:
    • leaving a mark on the city
    • The streets were his canvas
  • JR found a camera
    • Started documenting
    • Created his own gallery on the street
  • JR’s own photograph was used as propaganda
    • to show his friends as monsters
  • The power of paper and glue
    • Getting across an idea
  • A bridge between the anonymous women and media was created by one of JR’s projects
  • Vinyl used in JR’s artwork actually aided the houses in keeping the rain out of the houses in Kibera
  • People's creativity makes them come into the project
  • “I wish for you to stand up and for what you care about by participating in a global art project, and together we’ll turn the world...INSIDE OUT.”
  • Insideoutproject.net
    • The people’s art projects
  • Acting together creates change
  • The whole thing is so much more than the sum of the parts
  • It all starts depending on the parts
