Inside Out Project

"TEDxDubai is participating in TED Prize winner J.R. InsideOut global art project."

Hello readers!

I've been meaning to talk about TedxDubai's participation in J.R's 'Inside Project' and now's my chance.

"TEDxDubai is participating in TED Prize winner J.R. InsideOut global art project."
The project basically combines art and effort along with community work to send out a message that might potentially change the world.

An idea that I propose for the project is the following:

Each person willing to participate would submit a black and white version of themselves when they were
children (ages 5-8); studio portraits. The moral behind this is to recapture innocence and rekindle one's childhood, and for those who grew up in Dubai, to reawaken the free spirits that used to roam around the streets playing and enjoying being children. People grew up, and will continue on growing, and watching defiant yet innocent faces, who haven't been exposed to the realities of life, would provide the pure base of inspiration needed to 'change the world'.
