If This World were Mine?

If This World were Mine aims to create a series of workshops designed to provoke playful disorientation, self-expression, involuntary collaboration, and wordplay. Utilizing these interactive creative practices to shift the mental paradigm while instilling the ideal that “Every Human is an Artist.” Documenting the process through participant interviews is a crucial component of the campaign. Simple drawing exercises guided by music, infused with physical limitations and imposed time constraints, are where we begin what the artist calls playful disorientation. These first sessions focus on dislodging the mental mindset of programmed responses, expectations, and predetermined outcomes. The second phase begins with an introduction to the Artist, Maxx Moses. He shares his experiences as a New York City graffiti artist in the 1970s, including the challenges and risks that caused him to realize the invaluable quality of self-expression. Then, participants explored self-expression through dialogue and art-making. The third phase combines self-expression and playful disorientation into an involuntary collaboration to engage with each other’s art, designed to inspire individualism, detachment, and cooperation. Guest artists will support the workshops. This campaign aims to demonstrate the transformative power of the hearts and minds of individuals through the creative process. And how these processes foster a deeper level of understanding, connection, and empowerment on an individual and communal level.
