The Hummingbird Project: Creating from Scratch comes from the Native American legend of the hummingbird that inspired Wangari Maathai, the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. She launched the Green Belt movement which has replanted millions of trees to stop the desertification of Kenya. The Hummingbird fights alone against a huge forest fire, the other animals watch him fly from the river to the forest with a drop of water in his little beak. To the animals that mock him, the hummingbird answers... "I do my best". The ambition of the Hummingbird Project is similar: to create from an object to be recycled, to do one's best, to offer oneself a break during which the hands find their first role of creation.
