We Sell Reality will work with children to create protest signs about the issues that matter to them. These can be protest signs where the children express their opposition to the conflict in their home country that they have fled, or perhaps against problems they encounter in their current environment. From ‘Stop the genocide’ to “Don’t litter on the street.”
Based on the protest signs, We Sell Reality will design a number of postcards that will then be sold door-to-door by children affiliated with the youth movement. The proceeds from the sales will go to a charity chosen by the children themselves.
To conclude this initial engagement and collaboration, all the involved children will gather in the festival HUB Saturday, May 17 at 4 PM to celebrate. Here, the last postcards will be sold, and there will also be a raffle organized where the original protest signs, which together form an installation in the square, will be raffled off. The proceeds from this will also go to the chosen charity.
The project ‘The Future in Action’ is part of a series of artistic and activist workshops and gatherings aimed at making the children's voices a part of the public conversation about where we are collectively heading in this world. Children learn to critically reflect on the political mess that adults create and to propose ideas for a better future and visualize them.
