From our last feast letter:
Inspired by the well-known advice attributed to Mahatma Gandhi that to truly influence the conduct of others and the course of events, one must “be the change” one wishes to see in the world, “Paint the Change” will revolve around the creation of outdoor murals and street art to express support for all those denied access to higher education in Iran― particularly Bahá'ís. Efforts will draw on the power of public art to give a city’s common spaces a unique character and to help raise awareness of local, national, and international issues and concerns.
An online handbook will provide useful materials and sample artwork to aid you, and the “Paint the Change” website (at http://www.paintthechange.me/) will enable you to explore ways that you and your community can join this new phase of Education Is Not a Crime. Use of the social media will be integral to the success of “Paint the Change” and it is already active on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. To join the conversation, please follow and “like” the “Paint the Change” pages and use the official hashtags, #EducationIsNotACrime and #PaintTheChange.
