[Welcome Project] A call for the next generation to join the dance from Kaori Ito
For 40 years, the BNP Paribas Foundation has been committed to giving power to those who take action. Our ‘Welcome Project’ video series aims to share messages that inspire from the artists we support to tomorrow’s movers and shakers.
In this third video in our Welcome Project series, the dancer and choreographer Kaori Ito takes the stage.
Back to the future
To mark the 40th anniversary of the Foundation, we asked three of our ‘Culture’ partners to offer uplifting, motivating messages for the future to 2024 newborn babies in our video series.
“Choose what you want, what you desire, and go for it“
There may be cracks, [but] that’s where the light shines through, [and] you are the light.
