EnMasse Street Art
All the best ! 🥂
& From the En Masse Project website :
“EN MASSE is a multi-artist collaborative drawing project that creates boldly black-and-white works of public art; underlining the power of shared creativity, and the building of strong communities through effective communication.
We create embodied learning spaces where participants from all walks of life come together to support cooperation, not compromise…where different points of view are celebrated as strengths, not weaknesses.
EN MASSE emphasizes process as being far more valuable than the final product, and invites participants to find the courage to actively listen and work together through a process designed to remind us of our dreams, to affirm, and to reinforce our deeply human need to belong. “
