Platforms and databases for each and every one of us to share our stories through art. It now takes the form of a website and an online gallery. Eventually, Viva la Vida will have its own mobile application and online platform for people from all over the world to view stories, generate their own, and connect with each other.

We design the workshop based on various academic research in psychology, art therapy, management theory, etc. It aims at establishing more authentic and meaningful connections within the team.

Global Art Community for Children
Global Art Community for Children

Viva la Vida is building a global art community for children all over the world (especially those of marginalized social groups) to exchange ideas and stories by drawing. It consists of two parts: an online gallery to exhibit the drawings and offline mini art stations for children to come and draw. Viva la Vida partners with local NGOs in major global cities to establish and maintain the mini art stations. Besides, Viva la Vida hosts free art camps for children in need (i.e., those of marginalized social groups) to enable them using art to explore, express, and establish their identity.

 Viva la Vida aims at building the largest humanity database and has partnered with organizations including UN, Facebook, China Unicom, Vanke, G20 YEA, etc. It combines the power of technology and humanity, using the algorithm of image recognition and machine learning to analyze the cultural implication behind the beautiful drawings.
Viva la Vida originated from a street experiment in Mexico City on January 3rd, 2018, in front of the blue house and museum of Frida Kahlo, where people were asked to draw a picture to express their purpose of life. Later on, it surprisingly grows into a global community of people from 50+ countries share their stories through art and make meaningful connections.
