I’ve written a new song READY OR NOT, and I’m inviting you to illustrate your favorite verse(s), which we’ll use to create a new music video. All artwork - drawings, paintings, sketches, photos, collages, sculptures - welcome! You can find all the information about the song, including lyrics and a sketch recording, and how to participate here:

READY OR NOT imagines our human journeys, through the image of packing a magic suitcase. At first whimsical, like Mary Poppins’ carpet bag, the song also takes us to the journeys of forced migration, the refugee’s journey, packing quickly the things most precious, tangible and intangible, objects as well as memories. From personal to communal to global – what are the journeys we must undertake, in the words of the MacArthur Foundation, “to create opportunities for exultation as we recognize the potential to create objects of beauty and awe, advance our understanding of society, and foment change to improve the human condition.”

"Jenny Jenkins" celebrates creativity by artists aged 1-83, from around the world. I updated this traditional color song to reflect the important changes born of our times. It has a fun chorus and a beautiful video created by Jessica Lily.

Woody Guthrie's iconic song "This Land is Your Land" is one of our favorites at the Global Village Project. In this version we collaborated with Congregation Bet Haverim, chorus directed by Will Robertson and music director Gayanne Geurin.
