Can you imagine people from every country in the world participating in a simultaneous moment of peace?
Can you imagine the photographs this moment would produce?
Can you imagine the impact? … We can… Please join us.
Worldwide Moment is a non-profit arts organization which encourages people around the world to celebrate peace and international collaboration by taking simultaneous photographs and sharing their stories. 2009’s Moment occurs when the time is Wednesday September 9, 2009 at 9:09AM in the +09GMT time zone, or [email protected]:09.
So that means when it’s:
Wednesday morning September 9 at 9:09AM in Japan and North Korea
Wednesday morning September 9 at 3:09AM in Darfur and Iraq
Tuesday evening September 8 at 8:09PM in New York and Chile
Tuesday afternoon September 8 at 2:09PM in Hawaii…
…all you have to do is take a photograph for peace.
After the Moment occurs, upload your photo, location, and a short description of your Moment, to the Worldwide Moment website www.WorldwideMoment.org. The photo collection will then be available online, and will eventually premier in-person at a gallery, soon-to-be determined. If you are a gallery owner or representative interested in showing the photos please contact us.
Whether amateur or professional, film or digital, Polaroid or camera phone, young or old, this is for EVERYONE. All you have to do is take a photograph at the specified Moment. And for those who want to participate but don’t have a camera? WE WANT TO GIVE YOU ONE. Contact us.
To see Worldwide Moment’s 2008 exhibit of 270 photographs from 20 countries visit our Gallery.
