… presented by TwoThousand.com.au and Anna Zhu Photography, with support from Polaroid 300
Hey you! Yes you. Listen here, okay?
Are you often faced with larger-than-life calls to action – Save the environment! Help stop the war! Make poverty history! Go green! No, greener! – that seem impossible to tackle? (And often exhausting to comprehend?) Well, now you have the chance to contribute towards positive change on a personal level.
‘I Will… Project’ is a continually evolving and interactive photographic artwork aimed at encouraging social change by emphasising the importance of the individual (that’s you!).
Using paper, pen, a Polaroid 300 and a huge map of Sydney (designed by recent COFA graduate Joseph Porpiglia) ‘I Will… Project’ is an interactive artwork that prompts you into immediate action.
The process is simple. You write down a precise statement about how you’ll personally contribute to a positive future, take a Polaroid and pin it on the map. In doing so you’ll demonstrate the first small step one person can take to make an important difference, and, as a result, inspire others to do the same.
Thanks to the generous sponsorship of Polaroid 300, ‘I Will… Project’ will be appearing at Live Futures 2020 on Saturday August 14.
Come and write your pledge, play with a Polaroid 300 and take part in this interactive artwork.

[...] Glenn again: We should get museum staff, and visitors to the show to make a pledge for the duration of the exhibition. Eg: I will not drive my car to work. Kind of like giving up beer for lent or something. (This sounds a bit like the “I Will…Project” which was recently aired here.) [...]
