PRESENTATION OUTLINE

JOEL ARTISTA'S CAMP ZATARI MASTERPICES

BY LIAM HIBBINS

UK, 2014: Joel created an interactive mural as part of the Greenbelt Festival outside of London, which focuses on progressive social causes, music and art. Joel’s piece was prominently featured along a long wall in the entrance to the event, and festival- goers were invited to participate in the creation of the piece by adding their poems, drawings and messages on the colored geometric shapes. The theme was the environment; participants were asked to reflect on what we— as individuals and as communities— can do to begin the healing process and reverse the damage done to our natural environment.
