ABOUT THE INSIDE OUT PROJECT

Inspired by JR’s initiative, the artist Nöemi Manser, Lucas Vrtilek photography, Tulum Art Club and Los Amigos de La Esquina, joined together to bring this project alive. The project consists in creating identity and connecting the community through art and the process of creation and conscious actions to stand up for what we care: Tulum

On March 2, 2011, JR won the TED prize at the TED Conference in Long Beach, California, and called for the creation of a global participatory art project with the potential to change the world. This project is called INSIDE OUT.

Inspired by JR’s large‐format street "pastings", INSIDE OUT gives everyone the opportunity to share their portrait and make a statement for what they stand for. It is a global platform for people to share their untold stories and transform messages of personal identity into works of public art.

Each INSIDE OUT group action around the world is documented, archived and exhibited online. Over 260,000 people have participated in 129 countries.

The INSIDE OUT project has traveled from Ecuador to Nepal, from Mexico to Palestine, inspiring group actions on varied themes such as hope, diversity, gender-based violence, climate change... Discover the extent of the project through. Click here to learn more about it.

In this case the artist Nöemi Manser, well known by her techniques of connecting the brain and humanity, gives a more interactive way to communicate a noble message about peace, art and the creation of this reality by living together as a community.

The chosen location is the outside wall from the Gym inside the “Centro Deportivo” (a communitary sports center). A mural was painted on the center and all the pictures of the community were pasted on it.

about Noëmi Manser

Science teaches us that we are all connected and similarly we all share the same fibers of life running through our individual cells. Much like how a cancer grows when a cell separates itself from the rest of the body, society has created its own cancerous cells in the acts of individuality. Noëmi’s mission is to bring light to this pattern and return us to the “Global Brain Conciounsness” state where we are all one, connected, and all responsible for our selves and our actions as these all have rippling effects that have leads us to the challenging time in our history of humanity. The symbolic androgynous faces represent all of us and yet each one has its own particular characteristic role in the web of civilization. Every face also represents a cell in your body, a person in society, and how we all are part of this tapestry and each one of us holds the fiber together.
