A socially engaged art project in which the artist facilitated weekly gatherings for young people to explore themselves, their communities, and the world around them. In these meetings, students reflected on and shared thoughts, ideas, and feelings that were often difficult to express elsewhere. The students created videos as a form of self-expression, while the artist guided conceptual development, idea refinement, and strategies for sharing their work with the community. Participants also collaborated to design The Umbrella of Humanity, a participatory public art installation fostering dialogue, connection, and shared understanding. The project provided a safe and supportive environment for creative exploration, critical thinking, and community-building, enabling participants to shape the inclusive space they wanted to see and experience.
