The Manifesting Mobile is a globally collaborative art traveling installation. It offers the participant a creative reminder that we are connected to others who share in a vision for a healthy and thriving planet.
This exhibition is the launch of next phase of the Manifesting Mobile project. Starting with Savannah, I plan to collaborate with other cities to build city specific Manifesting Mobiles.
It will be a part of the First Friday in Starland events.
The Manifesting Mobile is created at public community events that happen throughout the city. The goals of the events are trifold. First, people will create their unique art for the mobile using simple cardboard circles and art materials. Second, local organizations and nonprofits are invited to share their mission and offer volunteer opportunities, so people feel empowered to take action. And finally, there is an opportunity for people to discuss their personal, global, and local visions with each other.
The Manifesting Mobile is made up of recycled cardboard circles artfully collaged by participants. The circles represent people’s dreams and visions for themselves and/or the world. People from all walks of life ranging from young and old contribute to decorating the circles. When it is exhibited, the circles are strung across the room in rows of circles. People are invited to walk through it as a meditative experience.
