The Hexagon Project
We Live in an Interdependent World.
In the 21st Century everyone and everything is connected, we are not limited by borders anymore. We have connections and
relationships with people and governments all over the world. Interdependence means that each member of the relationship is
self-sufficient but responsible to each other. As people living in an interdependent world, we need to work together because all countries are dependent on one another in some way. Think
about global warming, clothes, disease, entertainment, terrorism, and food; these things do not have borders. People and
governments use, work for, and try to prevent these things together.
We need to focus on civic responsibility.
All of our actions affect others. It our responsibility as global citizens to promote tolerance, appreciate diversity, and learn
about intolerance to understand that it is something that should not be accepted.

One Role of the Artist is to interpret, express and make visible
the complex issues and ideas of our world
Human Rights
Diversity
Environment
Governance Children’s Rights
Commonalities
Through images and words the artist creates a visual representation
of their thoughts and feelings about these issues.
Their works of art prompt us to ask questions,
to confront the issues expressed and in many cases move us to action.
