Red Sand Project Favorite 

The Red Sand Project is a participatory art installation and social awareness project created by artist and activist Molly Gochman in 2014. The project aims to raise awareness about human trafficking, which is a global issue that affects an estimated 40 million people, including men, women, and children who are subjected to forced labor, sexual exploitation, and other forms of exploitation.

The project involves filling sidewalk cracks and other public spaces with red sand, which represents the millions of people who are trafficked and exploited each year. Participants can order free red sand online or purchase pre-packaged sand kits, which include instructions on how to participate in the project.

To participate, individuals or groups are encouraged to find a public space, such as a sidewalk or street, and fill in the cracks with red sand. They can also use chalk or other materials to write messages or draw symbols related to the issue of human trafficking. The goal is to create a visual representation of the often-hidden nature of this issue, and to spark conversations about how to end human trafficking and modern-day slavery.

Participants are encouraged to take photos of their installations and share them on social media using the hashtag #RedSandProject, and to also share information about the issue and how to get involved. The project also provides resources and information on their website for those who want to learn more about human trafficking and how to take action to end it.

Overall, the Red Sand Project is a creative and impactful way to raise awareness about human trafficking, and to encourage individuals and communities to take action to combat this widespread problem. It serves as a powerful reminder that we all have a role to play in ending modern-day slavery.
