Red Arrow Project, The

The Red Arrow Project is a set of 20 kites flown by a group of random participants. Each kite has a giant red arrow pointing in a different direction. When the kites are flown simultaneously they create a field of red arrows in the sky. The arrows suggest new paths of exploration and are reminder to stop, consider your direction and potentially head somewhere new. The kites, which are 4 foot x 4 foot nylon hexagons with graphic red arrows attached, will be launched by a group of team members but can easily be passed to other people as they walk by and view the project.

RELOVUTION

The RELOVUTION camp is a theme camp inspired by The Bastille, a symbol of despotism and freedom. But in this camp, the storming of The Basting is being done a little differently than back in 1789: it is done through love, art, sharing, and great music. Costumes and good vibes are a must…
