Be the Change is a 2022-2023 art and activism initiative inspired by the Jewish tenet of justice and draws from the ritualistic Jewish Tzedakah box. In Hebrew, the word “tzedakah” means justice, and a tzedakah box is traditionally used to hold contributions to charitable causes. Taking place in Boston, Cincinnati, L.A. and online, Be the Change will help viewers connect to issues of injustice and empower them to become agents of change.

Wave Pool is one of the creative partners along with Keep Cincinnati Beautiful, WordPlay, Par Projects, Cincy Nice, and ish.
