Montana Red Sand Project
7:30 AM (America/Denver)
University of Montana
Description:
This event is the Montana part of the "Red Sand Project", an activist artwork that uses participatory sidewalk interventions, earthwork installations, and convenings to create opportunities for people to question, to connect, and to take action against human trafficking. Participants find and fill a sidewalk crack with red sand and to then document the sidewalk transformation on social media using #RedSandProject. These interventions remind us that we can't merely walk over the most marginalized people in our communities -- those who fall through the metaphoric cracks. The simple act of placing sand in a crack or posting a photo on social media may seem inconsequential, but small actions can help raise awareness of the issues facing those who are overlooked.
