I love this idea from artist, {Candy Chang}...
In Candy Chang's words...
"It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day and forget what really
matters to you. With help from friends and neighbors, Candy turned the
side of an abandoned house in her neighborhood in New Orleans into a
giant chalkboard where residents can write on the wall and remember what
is important to them."
"Before I Die is an interactive public
art project that invites people to share their hopes and dreams in
public space."
"Painted with chalkboard paint and stenciled with the
sentence “Before I die I want to _______”, the wall became an
enlightening way to get to know your neighbors and discover the hopes
and aspirations of the people around you."
"Once the wall is filled, we wash the board with water and start with a
clean slate again. We are documenting all responses and some will be
included in a book."
What would you write?
