GOAL NextGen X-Change
Introducing GOAL NextGen X-Change
X-Change from GOAL Next Gen aims to connect people all over the world through creativity, arts and conversations. To explore how, together, we can be a catalyst for change.
X-Change Spark
To celebrate X-Change GOAL NextGen teamed up with a diverse group of artists.
Each bringing their unique cultural voice to create 'Spark'
- Celevedmai (Ireland/Ivory Coast),
- Evan Flaherty and Darragh Purcell from Irish band Scoth,
- Edna Martinez (Colombia) &
- Gene (Ethiopia)
Watch here or listen to 'Spark' via Spotify Soundcloud & Apple Music.
The group's innovative song 'Spark' has been accompanied by a new art piece. Both explore themes of global solidarity, connection and cross-cultural collaboration.
In tandem with the launch of 'Spark' - THINKHOUSE have developed a short behind-the-scenes documentary and music video.
Designer and illustrator Grace Enemaku, drew on her Irish upbringing and Nigerian heritage to create a digital art piece inspired by ‘Spark’.
It's rare that you get the chance to create work that spans across creative disciplines and countries to collaborate with artists and musicians across the world. My piece 'Hope Blooms' is inspired by Spark. It illustrates that love and solidarity is the key to healing our world, our society and ourselves.
