Yandex Go and the Help Near Foundation launched a joint art project Through the eyes of different people. It was created to support people with disabilities and draw attention to the problems they face.
As part of the initiative, more than 100 cars of Yandex Go partners in Moscow and St. Petersburg were covered with works by artists, wards of charitable organizations that cooperate with the Help is Near Foundation. Among them are “Perspectives”, “Naked Hearts”, “Tourmaline”, “Simple Things”, “Anton Is Here”, “Love Syndrome” and “Downside Up”.
In support of the project, Yandex made a video featuring two artists with developmental disabilities: Kirill Shmyrkov, a ward of the charity Perspektiva, and Sergey Kurkin, a participant in Downside Up Foundation social programs and workshops. Also, as part of the initiative , a QR code was placed on car seats leading to the Through the Eyes of Different site. There you can find information about foundations and artists, their work, as well as a fundraising form for neighborhoods.
Previously, Suzanne, Mowgli and “Puppies” recorded the album Afterdark in support of the Khabensky Foundation. These are seven life-affirming songs about hope and inner strength. We talk about it in more detail here.
