KIDS & RUBBISH
One of the big challenge of the years coming is to bring people to take more care about their environment. Plastic is soon to cover the planet, toxic chemical products are abandoned here and there next to rice fields or houses, fertilizers and pesticides are used without care of ground waters….. Cambodian people get no clues about the real impact this will have on their future life… and would not if they don't get soon informations and education… Beginning by simple acts we all do every day could already change a lot.
The Bhor team and Mlop Tapang NGO are sensible to the situation and at their level they have started already to communicate on the issue, involving themselves in Cleaning Days at the beach, plastic collecting, art-recycling, awareness theater shows and more.
The need to do it on a bigger scale is obvious, it's enough to look around you anywhere... , so we planned «kids & rubbish»
The Project: A 3 weeks festival inside and outside the BHOR building to bring concern to people about their environment through artistic performances and fun educative interventions.
A smart fast & fun way to communicate about how fragile is our planet…
As we did last year for «all about addiction » the building is going to be fully transformed by artists and during 3 weekends actors will offer you a creative visit of the exhibition from 5 to 8pm…Every 6 mn, ten people get in, for a 25 mn tour…
And from 8 pm shows on the main stage…. As we are still preparing the event it is impossible to give you now a real program now but as of today we already know that "Mlop Tapang kids" (circus + theater from Kampong Som), "Mekong Pirates" (Phnom Penh funk), "Ceux qui Marchent Debout" (street fanfare from France), "Okun & the Tyrans" (Kompong Som rock), "Vanry Green Project" (Phnom Penh recycling arts ), "OCT" ( Sk'ville Khmer pop) join us with skills & enthusiasm…
Proposed Period: - Option one from 14th to 30th of november
- Option two from 21st november to 6/7th december….
The Objective: Using an all arts approach with theater, graphics and music to catch public attention, we plan to both explain and clearly demonstrate the effects of pollution. From the consequences not only to self, but also to surroundings, to life and wildlife. We want to give an opportunity for artists to share in a creative and social project; and for kids to be involved in a group concept, where they can educate and also learn.
We wish to give a wide vision of what is possible to change, how it affects whom, why it affects them and what are the resources.
Naturally we want the public to learn important lessons while discovering new ways of expression. We expect this outreach effort to have a significant effect on those who participate as well as on those who visit, and so will positively impact the continuing pollution problem in this city.
Share your artistic skills, knowledge, experience:
- You may have some artistic expression or aptitude, fitting our purpose.
- you have been already involved in environmental project and you have communication or experience to share…
- you're connected with ngo's running awareness shows or wishing to create new ones on this topic.
Share your resources:
- You or your department is able to provide some dingueling money to support this project, We are looking (like usually Bhor does) for little amounts with few more partners (4 to 6) Because our budget is in accordance with our purpose: NO WASTE….
For the kids & rubbish project we are going to go further, with new topics and new partners….
Now, let's find out what we could share together…
We are waiting to hear from you!
