DAN ACHER, ARTIVIST




DAN ACHER, ARTIVIST

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Dan Acher is an Ashoka Fellow and the founder of Happy City Lab. Central to his
work is art as generator of social change across local and global communities.

Dan uses cities as playgrounds in which citizens of all backgrounds can connect
and engage with the key issues of our time. His large-scale installations and
new ‘city rituals’ create meaningful bridges across social, cultural or
political differences, allowing strangers to come together beyond what may
divide them.

GREENPEACE IN COLLABORATION WITH #WEAREWATCHING BY DAN ACHER

#WeAreWatching is back, in collaboration with Greenpeace! From November 25th to
December 1st, world leaders will gather in Busan, South Korea, to negotiate a
Global Plastics Treaty. This is our chance to demand bold actions to reduce
plastic production and end single-use plastics.

Today, I invite everyone to contribute by adding their portrait to this new
global flag at www.wearewatching.org Together, let’s ensure the world’s eyes are
on the decisions that will shape our future.

BREATHE TO PREMIERE IN GENEVA

In a divided and fast-moving world BREATHE is a 15-metre rising sphere pulsing
with a warm and rhythmic light; the epicentre from which the breath radiates to
unite people across a city and worldwide. May 16-26 in Geneva at Plainpalais,
the Jet d’eau water fountain, the UN building and more, plus a globally
synchronised website for friends, family and strangers around the world to slow
down and breathe in unison: Breathe-now.com
