Around the World 2024
The Inside Out Project swept the globe with 158 Actions across 137 countries and over 26,000 participants! A huge thank you to everyone who helped bring public art to their community. You made our 2024 truly unforgettable! Check out our yearly highlights.
Inside Out Actions swept the globe with inspiring messages that showcased the power of collective engagement for a better tomorrow! From South Korea to Colombia, Congo to Mongolia, communities near and far came together by harnessing the power of art to amplify their voices.
Thousands of people from all walks of life used the Inside Out Project to spark conversations and raise awareness around important subjects such as: literacy, environmental protection, issues of misinformation, children’s rights, women’s role in peace-building, and more! From covering the facade of the Strasbourg train station to wallpapering the grounds of a Gothic monastery in Porto, and even inundating an abandoned swimming pool with portraits of locals in Pforzheim, Germany, this year’s Inside Out installations left us in awe!

The Inside Out Photobooth traveled the world capturing over 8,000 portraits and hundreds of audio testimonies from people of all ages across Belgium, Brazil, France, Germany, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, and the United States.
Our largest Photobooth Action this year took place in Riyadh during the Noor Riyadh 2024 Festival. For three weeks, “Inside Out - Light Years Apart” captured the portraits of over 2,200 participants to showcase the strength and beauty of our shared humanity, reminding us that even in a vast universe, we are all connected.
To celebrate the many successes of 2024, our team nominated 4 of our favorite images that encapsulate the wonderful Actions created by communities around the world from Brazil, Portugal, Congo and Colombia. It was a close race! Over 700 people voted for their favorite photo online and selected the winner. This year’s award goes to “Arroz Barato Unido" by Maria Alejandra Villamizar!
As part of the global multi-city Action “Les Visages de la Francophonie”, Bolivia joined the Inside Out Map! This worldwide Action brought together 19 French Alliances from 13 countries to celebrate the multicultural community of French speakers. In Cochabamba, 190 people celebrated the 75th anniversary of the French Alliance in their city by covering the facade of the building with their portraits. Learn more about this Action here. Inside Out has now reached 153 countries and territories worldwide!
Year after year, communities around the world continue to break barriers and transform their realities with the power of art. As part of JR’s Can Art Change the World? Foundation, Inside Out prides itself on making art accessible to all— whether it be a refugee community in the Sahara Desert or a public school in New York City.
Thanks to your continued support, Inside Out Project has become a global movement that vanguards the voices and messages of individuals from all corners of the world. With your help and participation, we will continue reach new horizons!
