# Street Artist JR: 1 Year Turning the World Inside Out

Almost a year ago, French photographer, street artist and TED Prize winner JR started his [*Inside Out*](/jr-inside-out-project/) project and since then, the large-scale participatory art project that transforms messages of personal identity into pieces of artistic works went worldwide! Whether in [Haiti](/jr-inside-out-haiti/), Brazil, Greece, Israel, or Mexico, people are participating and paste their faces in the streets of their cities. Now it was time to look back and summarize the first year of turning the world inside out...

*Street artist JR made a wish in 2011: Join me in a worldwide photo project to show the world its true face. Now, a year after his TED Prize wish, he shows how giant posters of human faces, pasted in public, are connecting communities, making change, and turning the world inside out. You can join in at [insideoutproject.net](http://www.insideoutproject.net)*
