Say The Brave Thing

We invite you to add your voice, your vision, and your courageous message to this growing community project. Together, we’re building a living collection of activist art, visual storytelling, and collective imagination, one brave thing at a time.

A Living Collection

The Brave Thing Project by Cyndi Coon and Kim Larkin is a creative social practice exploring how art can become activism, public dialogue, and collective imagination. Through collage, storytelling, workshops, publishing, and participatory experiences, the project invites people to transform personal experiences, cultural tensions, and hopeful futures into visible acts of expression. The project includes a collaborative art book, community workshops, downloadable creative tools, and an evolving online gallery where voices from around the world can connect through shared visual storytelling.

Download and print the Share the Bear Template and add your voice, your vision, and your brave message to this growing community project.

Transform the bear on the front of the downloaded page through collage, drawing, poetry, protest language, paint, stitching, screenshots, symbols, or whatever materials help you express what matters to you.

Take a photo of your finished piece and upload it to the Share the Bear community gallery and resource archive at: https://forms.gle/jExoYFvQWQD5SdeQ9
