“before i die” wall – washington dc

organized by sophie miller and dan blah, this wall on 14th street, washington dc invites the public to share their hopes, dreams and desires before they die.

the interactive public project began on february 2011 in new orleans. candy chang, an artist had lost someone close. she wanted to know what is important to people. on the side of an abandoned building in her neighborhood she wrote the phrase, ‘before i die i want to _____”. by the following day the entire wall was completely filled by people who had passed by.

the project is now global. communities in mexico, the netherlands, australia, kazakhstan, UK, brazil, germany, poland, denmark and all over US have started their own walls. you can also create your own wall in your own community. candy provides a kit for $100.
