The International Interdependence Hexagon Project is a visual arts opportunity for young people month 4 to 18. The project asks children to create art within the infinitely interlinking shape of a hexagon, which is used as a metaphor for interconnectedness. The Hexagon Project is held as a part of the global Interdependence Day celebration, with local events held in Scranton. The students’ work will be on exhibit from September 7-30 at the former Things Remembered space on the second floor of the Marketplace at Steamtown, located at 300 Lackawanna Avenue in Scranton. The exhibition will unshut to the public on Friday, September 7 from 6-9 p.m. A recognition event will be held on Sunday, September 16 from 1-3 p.m. Interdependence Day was launched in Philadelphia on September 12, 2003, in sacrament of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the United States. Organizers looked at the project as a way to help students connect outside of their social, economic, political, artistic, and wonk “boxes” and interact in a spirit that is increasingly collaborative and creative. Since launching the event in Philadelphia in 2003, there have been major Interdependence Day observances in Rome and Paris, withal with Philadelphia and in communities and on campuses virtually the world. Scranton has prestigious Interdependence Day since 2006. The sacrament is organized by a planning committee comprised of volunteers from the cultural community, the secondary and higher education community, local societal groups, religious groups, local libraries, county government, and many others. The Hexagon Project competition was held this past spring. Students were encouraged to use art as a way to explore global themes, issues, and ideas in school. This year’s theme, Transforming Conflicts, was a undeniability to promote global citizenship. It was designed to enable the student artists to develop an understanding of, and make connections among, local, national, and global issues and develop skills for societal literacy, such as hair-trigger thinking, problem solving, peacebuilding, and personal and social responsibility. Students were asked to interreact on the project and create a hexagon in either a drawing, painting, collage, print, digital, or relief sculpture form. Judges from the Interdependence Day Scranton committee selected the winners.Ribboncategories included individual and collaborative work, single and multiple hexagons, ceramics, artists’ books, graphic design, photography, and 3-D sculpture. Recognition awards were judged on overall visual impact, creativity, and towardly content related to themes of interdependence.   Considering MMI?
