The Humanitad Foundation, a non-profit organization based
in London, promotes inter-cultural and inter-faith tolerance
among all world nations through music, arts, and education.
The Foundation is currently organizing a project called
Monument to Mankind. They are looking for one sculptor
from each nation (192) to each design and sculpt one block
of sandstone that will represent his country's heritage and
culture.
These blocks will then be constructed into a Peruvian-style
stepped pyramid; it will be the largest internationally
collaborated arts project in history and will be a universal
symbol of human fellowship. The monument will either be
constructed in Turkey or the United Arab Emirates in July
2002, contingent upon the world political situation.
Each selected sculptor will be sponsored, with the
assistance of arts and heritage councils and agencies, to
attend a four-week art camp to work on the supplied blocks.
Necessary tools, electricity, etc. that are not transportable
will be provided as well as all catering, lodging, and
transportation, etc. A nominal fee will be paid to each
sculptor (exact sum has not been decided yet).
Please email, postal, or phone Torah Bontrager for further
details regarding the subject dimensions, etc., a formal
application, and/or any other questions you may have
regarding this project.
