Art that inspires conversations on key social issues

Create an NGO that creates small artworks to inspire discussions on key social matters, including Climate Change.

For instance, one concept is that of creating “elevation markers” to be put in people’s yards (in coastal areas). This foregrounds how real the effect of sea level rise may be (in many cases, suprisingly) and creates personal and financial incentives for the public to actively advocate for policy reforms. Moreover, when a neighbour sees such a sign, their curiosity is piqued and they want to know what that number means (spreading awareness).

Another concept is that of Mangrove Installations, wherein shop owners have small mangrove plants hanging by the counter. When people ask why that’s there, they learn that the region they’re currently in was made by deforesting an entire mangrove forest.

Social Activists can suggest local issues that need more awareness, and then artists can come up with ideas about how to create that awareness.
