In Search of the Truth : Site of the small Buddha

World Tour

The Truth Booth is a giant inflatable video recording booth that uses this simple format: participants are asked to finish the statement "The Truth is . . ." in under 2 minutes.

This is a long-term public art project by Cause Collective artists Ryan Alexiev, Hank Willis Thomas, and Jim Ricks.

We toured Afghanistan with the Truth Booth in August and September of 2013. We partnered with 1TV, a leading Afghan TV station, and Free Press Unlimited to help bring the booth to remote regions of the country.

Using this open ended format, we hope to engage directly with the people of Afghanistan (whose voice often remains unheard by traditional broadcast media) and create a innovative form of cross-cultural conversation and understanding.

Since, we have taken the Booth to Cleveland, OH, Burning Man, Palo Alto, CA, and the Facebook HQ. We are on our way to South Africa and Miami next.
