Hello! As you may know, my international project, 122 Conversations, concluded earlier this year at its 6th and final destination in Duluth. The video above, created by Dale Bluestein, encapsulates the wonderful cross-cultural spirit of the last 6 years. A marvel in itself with the thousands of humans engaged and touched, it is also a spring board for my new project I introduced to you last month,  the I Love You Institute.The I Love You Institute, had its first pop-up event at the student union on the University of MN, Duluth campus. The art project has its roots in human connection and engagement with the aim to urgently work with communities to resuscitate the power of connection and dialogical space via art. Working with students, we were able to create 150 artworks to send out into the community. More events are forthcoming! Be sure to check out our website! You can find the institute on Facebook and Instagram as well.
