No Evil Project, Inc

The No Evil Project is a nonprofit organization that uses art and humour to challenge stereotypes and help people find commonality and understanding despite cultural, socio-economic, religious, racial, gender, physical and mental health, occupational, political, and ethnic differences. For photo shoot events, each participant poses as the Three Wise Monkeys: See No Evil, Hear No Evil, and Speak No Evil; picks three labels that describe themselves; and writes a good deed to show they’re “not evil”. Participating encourages exploring our own labels, biases, and stereotypes, without the defensiveness these topics traditionally cause; while seeing the photos and stories of others online and in exhibits humanizes the labels we may not relate to, helps us find things in common, challenges our assumptions, and starts new educated conversations. The project is available for corporate team building / diversity / retreat events, college festivals and orientations, high school health and anti-bullying programming, public festivals, as well as small to large scale art exhibits.
