Xavier Cortada implemented the HELLO participatory art project with attendees of COP26 from November 1st – Nov 12th.

Thousands of people from across the world who attended COP26 wore HELLO stickers in a collective effort to catalyze conversations around climate action, urge world leaders to meaningfully address the climate crisis, and ultimately turn it around.
