About Viva la Vida
Viva la Vida asks people a simple question - What is your life, and the answer needs to be expressed through a drawing.
We encourage people to pause for a moment from their busy lives, ponder on this very essential question, and define their own meaning.
We appreciate all forms of human lives and firmly believe everyone's stories should be heard.
