It is our favorite time of year at BRAF. Time to announce our 2009 Grant Recipients:

Cardboardia (Cardboard Town Free!)
Sergej Korsakov
MOSCOW
$7,500

Cardboardia ‘towns’ are temporary, collaboratively built and inhabited towns manifesting in Moscow, Russian, Finland and Germany in the summer of 2009. Carboardia is, in essence, a role playing community, where guests can create a new identity while contributing to the growth of the town, using cardboard as their expressive and artistic medium. Every town created under the Cardboardia title is a place where people can reinvent themselves – where, for a short time, everyone can leave behind their daily worries through new ways of self-expression.

Cardboardia brings together all people of all ages and backgrounds in a conflict free environment. All the participants have the equal significance and room for self expression.
