After our discussion of the children’s books that relate to the Bali Climate Principles, I conducted some research to find another piece of art to review here. I came across a photo that I really like, and I think it should be on billboards across America.
Of course, this DIRECTLY relates to the principles, but I really appreciate the color scheme in this photo. The use of the color brown, to spell out “Leading the Way”, is very symbolic. The other colors in the photo shows inclusion of people of all colors. I like this notion, because often our friends among less common cultures are drowned out by cultures of large numbers. Furthermore, the wording in the photo is important to identify as a direct contrast against the norm. Usually, members of large, Western corporations are the ones looked to to lead the way, but in this context, indigenous peoples are the ones we must take an example from. I think this photo is an important piece of art, because it tells a much larger story without being too involved or complex. It’s also not forceful or demanding, which might turn some people off and serve the opposite purpose.
