Mission:
To support cultural preservation and raise awareness to causes around the world through innovative storytelling and collaboration with the arts.
Vision:
A world of inspired change-makers using creative expression to preserve cultural identity and invoke real change.
About Quest of Sages:
Quest of Sages is a multidisciplinary project inspired by an artistic journey to photograph one person from every country in the world. Each person photographed is asked to paint a line across a piece of blank paper and their portrait is later printed on top of their painting. Once all 197 countries are completed, the resulting images will be displayed as an installation by connecting the line segments together and ultimately creating one unbroken line the entire world painted.
Rather than retelling the story as a traditional travelogue, a mythological saga is being written. The book series incorporates wisdom gathered throughout the journey, as well as local myths, legends and folktales from the cultures visited, creating a fictional universe around the quest and transcending traditional storytelling by blurring the line between fantasy and reality.
Along the way, we work with communities and organizations in each country visited to support cultural preservation. We believe that the innovative use of conceptual art and fictional storytelling can help marginalized communities around the world preserve their heritage and share cultural knowledge more effectively than through traditional methods of communication such as journalism and documentary filmmaking. Using highly creative channels allows individuals to digest difficult material while also inspiring a deeper connection to achieve cultural awareness and opportunities for social impact.
