In 2010, after 20 years of working with companies, they saw a need to scale up the transformation. They gifted a license to the certification system and methodology to the public through the creation of the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute™. The non-profit Institute is an agent of change through open source information.
In This Is Not The End, a powerful video installation, dance and sound performance, Arias reveals his concerns for the fragility of the natural world and humanity. A celebration of life, it brings together two other recipients of Prince Claus support.
In 2010 Más Arte Más Acción nominated Colombian dancer Nemecio Berrio to participate in the African Diaspora workshop at Ecole des Sables in Senegal. Following this, Nemecio was invited to lead workshops with communities in Chocó and dancers at the University of Antioquia in Medellín, based on his experiences in Senegal.
The performance is a collaboration between the dancers Nemecio Berrio and Abdou M with Patrick Acogny, choreographer from Ecole de Sables. The Prince Claus Fund supported these exchanges and we are proud to have made this final work possible. It is a testimony to the value of cross cultural collaboration, helping to make dreams come true along the way.
