Street Art Performances《Workshop: A Nail that Sticks Out Still Lives and Thrives》
This workshop will display the “things and goals I am striving for,” written on paper in the artist’s work currently on exhibit, A Nail that Sticks Out Still Lives and Thrives. The saying goes, “a nail that sticks out gets hammered down,” and in this way, the more we hold onto and pursue our dreams and goals, the more we become “the nail that sticks out” and become pounded down by the surrounding world. In spite of this, we must surely have the will to continue moving forward even when struck down. This performance will use the motif of a “whack-a-mole” game to express all people’s ability to carry on undefeated even after being hit.
