Description
Ten Thousand Ripples (TTR) is a multi-platform public arts project, undertaken in collaboration with Changing Worlds, the lead arts organization and cultural and community organizations from the city of Chicago. At the center of ten Thousand Ripples is the creation of one hundred fiberglass Buddha sculptures designed by artist Indira Freitas Johnson.
The goal of TTR is to provide the general community with an intense and meaningful public art experience outside of traditional art venues and in doing so act as a catalyst for community conversations and interactions about peace and nonviolence. Sites include parks, public plazas, alleys, libraries, building lobbies, and abandoned lots.
