What is PROJECT WE BEAM?
A collaborative project of two local nonprofits—From A Child’s Point of View and the Bellingham Youth Media Project—PROJECT WE BEAM was born of a desire to create space for children to engage adults in conversations about our shared planet.
What if, suddenly, the children understood what the animals were saying? And the animals understood the children?
PROJECT WE BEAM presents public art events illustrating conversations between children and adults about our shared planet.
On Friday March 5th, PROJECT WE BEAM will light up downtown Bellingham and local living rooms with an interactive art installation for all ages! The hybrid virtual and socially-distanced event is open to the public and will be viewable on the north wall of the Pickford Film Center from 6 PM to 8 PM during Downtown First Friday.
PROJECT WE BEAM will project the thoughts, feelings, and artwork of 5th grade students from Roosevelt Elementary School alongside moderated live community conversations about topics related to climate change.
The program will also be live-streamed on Facebook, YouTube, and Zoom for at-home audiences.
