Inspired by Candy Chang's TED talk, Astana Hub of Global Shapers Community (initiative of World Economic Forum) lead the art project on the Yesil river embankment of Kazakhstan's capital city. The board was remix - "Before I turn 100, I want to" - and an adaptation - boards in post Soviet area are normally green :) We used 3 languages - Kazakh, English, and Russian for people to share their dreams and goals. It was set for one week - from August 5th to August 11th. The project was covered on main TV channels and newspapers.
