Before I die I want to....

The idea of asking people to complete the sentence 'Before I die I want to...' is nothing new.
But still, it's so cool!
It's incredible to know what is important to people; their aspirations and dreams.
What people come up with are always surprising, inspiring and personal.

Candy Chang's a public installation artist, designer, urban planner and co-founder of the Civic Centre.
Her projects make good use of public space; make people think again on what really matters, connect people with the city they live in and make it an even better place.

A few months ago, Candy Chang from Civic Centre started off a project in New Orleans.
This particular project made use of an abandoned house, installed blackboards with chalk available and allowed people to just fill in the blanks.


I think she's awesome.
I wish more people can make the world a better place in such a creative, inspiring and peaceful way.
I think my city needs this, for a change.
I think people have all the right to fight for the better but the means are equally as important as the ends.


Here is another project (by Nicole Kenney & ks rives) that asks the same question 'Before I die I want to'.

Um...the idea of starting one myself is really tempting.

So, before you die what do you want to do?

Love,
