Multicultural Manifestoes by Ritsuko Taho
This half-acre installation in the heart of Central Square reveals the inner hopes of Cantabrigians of all ages and backgrounds. Ritsuko Taho spent five months soliciting "dream statements" via public meetings, workshops, and "dream collection boxes" around Central Square. She then inscribe selections on six rings of brass cylinders. The statements range from personal ambitions (becoming a teacher, veterinarian, or dancer; finishing college) to goals for the world at large (ending racism, and pollution, increasing tolerance and unity). Three of the scroll rings rest on a pillar of frosted glass bearing the word "dream" in 48 languages.
