Christ represents the state of man, the enlightened state of man, the bearer of light. This is what the Trinity means to me. Each Trinity, each one of us, is encompassed in the Trinity itself. We cannot be divided. Every person on this Earth is a Trinity and is inseparable from themselves; it's an inherent aspect of our existence.
-Pablo Damian Cristi
Introducing The second unveiling

THE CRISTI PROJECT

ENGAGING LOCAL COMMUNITY
AT THE HEART OF THE CRISTI PROJECT LIES OUR UNWAVERING COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY.
As we embark on this monumental journey with the Christ, we are dedicated to fostering a deep connection with the local communities in every city we touch, embracing all generations. In our pursuit of this vision, we are privileged to collaborate with the esteemed University of the Arts London (UAL), a globally renowned institution. UAL's talented students are crafting the communication posters that will grace the London "Bank" underground and our digital communications, ushering in a new generation to contemplate the significance of this historic sculpture.
Furthermore, we are thrilled to host an insightful evening with the MA students from UAL course, engaging in an open and thought-provoking discourse on the meaning, historical context, and unique student interpretations of the Cristi Project.
Together, we forge a path of inspiration, artistry, and community engagement.
