Positive creative gestures, such as a collaborative art piece, in a public space, can offer a unique way to engage in community dialogue, reminding us of the connectivity and vibrancy within cultural community. Art can bring to individuals and communitities a sense of cohesion, seeing our positive ideas and ideals collectively expressed and reflected back to us. This can reaffirm a sense of connectedness across cultures and further a sense of pride and purpose for both individuals and community.
We created the One Love Community Tree at One love on Pui O Beach. One Love is a beach gathering that shares the common langauge of art, music, food and dance, to bring people together in harmony. It was founded by Cameroon artist and Afritude Band musicician, Kaze.
