Local artist/activist Cheryl Sorg has been speaking out in her art against the problem of Human Trafficking and Sex Slavery. She has done numerous pieces on this subject and is now hosting a Global Freeze Project this Saturday the 17th at 12pm at Fashion Valley Mall. See here for details.
The Glogal Freeze project is a non-intrusive method of raising awareness for a cause that leaves the people surrounded by the event inspired instead of fearing for their safety.
Here's the Basic Concept:
For our Freeze Project moments, we would like to draw a couple of hundred people at a time to participate in drawing attention to some of the social injustices of the world. Instead of protesting, we would like to create an experience that is fun, non-intrusive (in your face activism), and inclusive. We believe that we could use “the Freeze” to draw attention in a crowd, which will then be followed up with a brief handout to people about a particular social injustice in the world.
How a Freeze Project Moment Looks:
- Participants will be asked to show up a designated time and place.
- Participants will then proceed to the “Freeze” space and blend themselves into a crowd as if they were regulars in that particular environments (e.g., malls, events, outdoor shopping areas, etc.).
- A cue will be given by the director of the Freeze moment.
- Participants will then stop what they were doing and stay frozen for the next 5 minutes until they receive another cue telling them that the freeze is over.
- Following the freeze, participants will handout a couple of print material each to people observing them (with or without conversation).
- That’s it! Enjoy the rest of the day at the venue where the Freeze takes place.
