This year, the plan was to walk between rural Scottish towns Cabrach and Huntly. However, because of our current situation, the Slow Marathon is being done remotely, together. The 2020 Slow Marathon is an attempt to walk around the globe - hundreds of different people, logging their adventures and contributing to a huge collective journey. As an act of hope, solidarity and resilience, the event will finish when we have jointly walked the 40,000km/25,000miles around the world. Currently, we have collectively walked to New Caledonia, south of Vanuatu in Melanesia! Artist Iman Tajik is collecting images of the sky people see when they look up while walking. These will be brought together in a massive artwork of all of us under one sky. Do Go on an adventure - in your local area, around your home, garden, supermarket, park...anywhere you fancy. You might walk, jog, drive, wheel or even cycle. What do you see? What do you notice? Capture the sky you see when you look up. Take a photograph, sketch, paint, write, collage, it’s up to you! If you would like to take part in the Slow Marathon 2020, simply register your details and then log how far you go. They will keep a log of your journeys and add them to the global community of Slow Marathon 2020 walkers. To contribute to Iman’s ‘Under One Sky’ artwork, send him your skies via the full challenge above. Enjoy! #TheWeeklyChallenge #64MillionArtists Safe at home?

Read full challenge here, we recommend you do ow.ly/dMaV50AhIBz #64MillionArtists #BlackBoyJoy The Weekly Challenge, 29th June 2020 - S.M.I.L.E-ing Boys We recommend reading the full challenge here! https://dothinkshare.com/the-weekly-challenge/the-weekly-challenge-29th-june-2020-s-m-i-le-ing-boys/ Kay Rufai is an artist who developed the Mayor of London supported S.M.I.LE-ing Boys Project. The project aims to address the mental health needs of black teenage boys that can go unacknowledged and unmet. It is a direct response to rising levels of knife crime and the media portrayal of black boys and men as perpetrators and victims. The initial stage of the project was held with 50 young, black boys in Year 9 at a school in Lambeth. The photos show young, black boys smiling. These photos are the visual aspect of a much wider initiative – to provide tangible coping strategies to manage their mental health, and to increase agency over the factors that affect their well-being. Over an 8 month creative programme, exploring the 8 Pillars of Happiness, the boys’ sense of wellbeing and self-worth rose by 22%. You can read more about the project, its context and its findings via the link above. “In terms of challenging stereotypes and representations of black boys this was so powerful for me…because it’s not an image that you’re used to ever seeing, and you question why it has such an impact on you.” Do This week’s challenge invites you to explore the context of this project, and reflect on its impact. Use these questions to help you. You can respond as creatively as you like, through drawing, poetry, photography or writing – all mediums that Kay used throughout the project. What makes you smile about these images? What could you do to make you smile more? What could you do this week to further engage with the context behind the project? How could you use this to educate yourself, someone else, celebrate black people, black artists and black joy? Safe at home?

Pride is a global celebration of the LGBTQ+ community, and a chance to come together in love and friendship. As well as being a month long celebration, Pride month is also an opportunity to peacefully protest and raise political awareness of issues facing the community. It is an opportunity to challenge intolerance in the past and present and pave the way for the future. This week’s challenge comes from Adam Ali Gseebat, who is a British Libyan writer and actor. Create your Token of Love. This week’s challenge is your chance to celebrate somebody in the LGBTQ+ community. They might be somebody that you know - somebody you go to school or work with, somebody in your family, or a friend. It might even be yourself! Or, they might be somebody you don’t know, but you admire. You could do some research to help you - they might be a historical figure, a politician, an activist or a celebrity. Celebrate in your own way! You could write a poem about them, sketch them, learn about them, share their stories and look for more. The way you celebrate is up to you. What does it mean to support LGBTQ+ Pride? Full challenge: https://mailchi.mp/64millionartists.com/the-weekly-challenge-22nd-june-2020 Have fun, let's get creative. Safe at home?
