Silence Was Golden is an on-going global performance series. In now more than 100 countries, performers choose a word or a short phrase that expresses something important or meaningful to them and then spell it out of golden letter balloons in relevant locations.

So far, thousands of people have taken part, creating a global tapestry of self-expression. The project is open and free to participate. 

This site-specific and participatory project allows individuals and communities to express themselves on multiple platforms and to collaborate with others. The ultimate goal is to inspire people of all backgrounds to communicate through art and connect with one another through their unique expressions. The project subtly touches on pressing issues such as freedom of thought, freedom of expression, equal rights and more.

The entire project is financed by Public Delivery without any outside institutional or corporate sponsorship. This is a deliberate decision: Any external financial support has the potential to take away from the overall message. Silence Was Golden unfolds at a grassroots level and in equal partnership with performers around the world.

We continue to develop strategic partnerships with other organizations, institutions and partners that are working for similar causes. This promotes synergy among organizational resources, to unify efforts and to amplify impact.
