I think JR democratic project is a fantastic and clever idea. The way that the “Inside Out Project” Combines street art and photography to convey the issues of social identity is very clever. This project was created in a very simple way and I think is wonderful that Mr. JR project allows people to not only have a poster of themselves taken for free, but also allowing them to hang their portraits next to hundreds of other people portraits. I think this is a great way to engage a community by participating on the “Inside Out Project” as well as allowing people that we are not so different from one another. I think a good idea for a photographic wall project around my community would be taking pictures of people during their everyday commute to work and/or school to show how our everyday experiences are similar and as a way to motivate and bring people together.
