CRISIS

Pronunciation: cri•sis \ˈkrī-səs\

Etymology: Middle English, from Latin, from Greek krisis, literally, decision, from krinein to decide.

Date: 15th century.

1 a: “A stage in a sequence of events at which the trend of all future events, esp. for better or for worse, is determined; turning point. “

The Crisis Project was founded on the principal that “street art” is not confined to the city streets of urban centers, but can also thrive in a suburban environment. This idea was put to work immediately and rapidly blossomed into a worldwide grassroots community through the power of the internet. Through education and inclusion, the Crisis Project has empowered participants to take back the public space around them and use it as their canvas. Before long, the project and its participants were growing steadily and adorning the rewards brought forth by the collective sharing of art and ideas. The Crisis Project which originated in a small suburb of Toronto, Canada; has spread across the globe with participants all over North America, Europe, Australia, Asia, and beyond.

The goal of the Crisis Project is to build upon its original mantra of spreading art into suburban areas and branch out into further ideologies surrounding the act of using art as a weapon to reclaim space. In practicing this goal, the Crisis Project aims to equally discover, and attack the various spatial injustices today’s society faces: urban “beautification”, deforestation, commercialization, and the destruction of culture, etc.
