A MOSAIC
The “Future is in Our Hands" challenge!
Join us in building the AwareNearth mosaic - a living artwork created by guardians and stewards across the globe. Over 12 months, as we travel to events, conferences, and communities in diverse natural biomes and anthromes, we’ll invite participants to stamp their hand (with organic ink, of course!) and capture a photo or a testimonial that reflects the existential threats we face. Share your emotions about existential threats.
Each handprint becomes part of a powerful mosaic - a call to action, sparking conversation, and a lasting legacy that shows how children and adults can shape the future.
A MAP
Inspired by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), we are creating an interactive map that helps young minds explore continents and natural biomes far beyond their own backyards. With the expertise provided by the IUCN, we are using this tool to introduce children to the concept of endangered species and highlight the deep connection between all living things and the spaces they inhabit. Our goal is to foster a positive awareness for nature protection from an early age, helping children build a lifelong relationship with the natural world.
A BOOK
In collaboration with artist Nat Cardozo, we are creating a unique, two-book series on existential threats, titled “Resilience". Using the ancient art of pyrography, Nat will represent more than 20 existential threats, combined with narratives and insights from leading scientists across six continents.
This powerful collaboration offers a holistic understanding of global risks and our collective ability to respond to them. The original illustrations will travel to galleries and museums, where visitors can explore the artwork, join discussions, and reflect on how we understand and respond to the urgent challenges facing the planet.
testimonials
AwareNearth collects inspiring testimonials from individuals and institutions across all natural biomes and anthromes, highlighting stories of resilience and efforts to create a more sustainable world in the face of increasing challenges. High-quality and visually striking, these stories will be featured in The Compass, serving both as inspiration for the Guardians of Tomorrow and as a vibrant snapshot of the planet today.
Through these testimonials, we celebrate the beauty of nature and the remarkable stories people have to share, creating a living visual map of hope, action and connection.
A COMPASS
As AwareNearth navigates existential threats over the next five years, we will develop the AwareNearth Compass. This interactive tool will help everyone understand each threat using a selection of data, as well as identify initiatives from local to global levels.
The Compass will also feature a large collection of testimonials and audio-visual elements from different cultures across the world's natural and human-made environments. This collection will be printed and stored for one human generation—25 years—serving as a legacy and reference for future stewards in 2050 on the choices we made today.
AN ART TOUCH
We believe that science and art together can spark the emotions needed to reimagine how we live with existential threats. Through a series of immersive art exhibitions - blending sound, visuals, and creativity- we will showcase diverse worldviews and lived experiences from around the world. These exhibitions invite audiences to feel, reflect, and connect in new ways. We’re always looking for fresh ideas and talented artists. if that’s you, we’d love to hear from you.
