Building Empathy and Camaraderie Through a Global Art Event

Around the world kids and adults in homes and schools are taking the initiative to collect, dye, and rip used bedding into colorful flags to be used as their canvas to depict their wishes.

These individual works of art are collected via mail to the Wishes From Headquarters and sewn to twine to create strands of flags.

The strands will be redistributed and installed at outdoor locations around the world reflecting the cultures, landscapes, climates, and sentiments of all participants.

The project will remain up as one massive global artwork for 28 days and nights to coincide with the lunar cycle.

Letter from Artistic Director

Greetings,

There has never been a better opportunity to release, inspire, educate, and build empathy through artistic expression. Your wish will help others understand what you, your family, your community, and ultimately what we as a whole are experiencing and hoping for. It will help generate camaraderie and pride, and, after the 28 day and night installation, a beautiful shared memory.

Where in the world will your flag end up? Who might admire it, relate to it, ponder it? Will it come true?

I look forward to receiving your wish. Let me know if there is anything I can help with and please, invite your friends. Let’s make this big!

Wishing for participation,
