G'Love for West Africa --- An "emergency" art intervention. Where safety meets compassion for West Africa
G'loves for West Africa is a second piece in Elana Langer's "tools of life" series that enhances tools that enhances life. The first installation highlighted bedazzled walkers and hearing aids, in this case I am hoping to have people decorate gloves for safety and protection. The project is documented in collaboration with New York photographer Hanna Agar.
G'love for West Africa aims to raise support from the international community and simultaneously to expand the conversation around Ebola into one of connection, support and compassion.
All G'loves will be sent to Liberia in West Africa via a WHO consultant (me!) at the end of the month.
