Description
The Hummingbird Project comes from the Native American legend of the hummingbird that inspired Wangari Maathai, the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. She launched the Green Belt movement that has replanted millions of trees to stop the desertification of Kenya. The Hummingbird fights alone against a huge forest fire, the other animals watch him fly from the river to the forest with a drop of water in his little beak. To the animals that mock him the hummingbird answers… “I do my best”. The ambition of The Hummingbird Project is the same, to create from an object to be recycled, to do one’s best: to offer oneself a break, during which the hands find their first role: to create.
Vickie Frémont is an artist, designer and anthropologist with a dual background inherited from a Cameroonian mother and a French father.
