The artist-at-large Challenge

May 31, 2014 By Kimberly Kradel

For fourteen years – or so – I’ve been asking you all to go out and explore cultures with eyes open. I wasn’t kidding.

So many people travel with their eyes closed, packing their baggage full stereotypes and misconceptions, rarely looking beyond how they think people should be or should live.

But not us. We move about the planet, observing, talking, wondering and wandering. Seeing, opening, planting seeds of friendship, curiosity and well-being.

My challenge to you is to tell us what you’ve discovered, how you’ve been influenced, what you’ve brought back – an idea, a project, a change in your heart, a way to save the world. Tell us here in the comments, or join us and tell us on the activity page. I want to know how opening your eyes has made the world a better place.
