TED Prize 2011 JR: My wish: Use art to turn the world inside out


TED Prize 2011
JR: My wish: Use art to turn the world inside out (script)
Summary
Someone explain the art to someone who didn't understand it. That is art that you try to understand it for a long time and you are listening to its explanation to understand well and discuss with your fellows hard. During that time, you haven't thought about what you're going to eat tomorrow.
The art the speaker do is not difficult. The museums are also not necessary. The streets, paper and glue, he only uses it. Although his art might be an illegal art exhibition, it's wonderful for people who can't go to museums and  who are hungry for art and culture to feel it. By using their photos, they can feel that this art belongs to them. And then, this art can travel with their stories.
Everyone must have something that you want to care about or to stand for or tell the story. He can make it art. You can join and reveal it to the world. This is one step to change the world. It can't directly change, but the art can change perceptions.
Words in this story
favela / a Brazilian shack or shanty town; a slum.
practical /  empirical, hands-on, actual, active
presume /  assume, suppose, guess,  judge, perceive
