New York Times reports on Evacuteer.org, Dear World
NEW ORLEANS–
Yesterday, the New York Times wrote a story about Dear World founder, Robert X. Fogarty other venture, evacuteer.org. The reporter writes “Art has always had a role to play with Evacuteer, and seemed a logical outgrowth of Mr. Fogarty’s interest in art and community engagement. He also started Dear World — originally Dear New Orleans — a series of photographs of people with messages written on their bodies and hands that has included luminaries like the Rev. Jesse Jackson, Susan Sarandon, Rahm Emanuel and the Saints quarterback Drew Brees. Mr. Fogarty’s income from speaking engagements related to Dear World allows him to run Evacuteer unsalaried.
To view the whole story visit the New York Times.
Dear World at the 2012 Harvard Social Enterprise Conference
Since launching Dear World at last year’s SECON, Robert X. Fogarty has hi-fived Jesse Jackson, written on a Senator’s body in her office, and been taught by Drew Brees how to open a box of baby wipes. He’s also photographed a woman who survived the Japanese earthquake and families from Joplin, Missouri continuing the work that began as a love note to New Orleans.
The stories his subjects tell are caught in his simple and distance message-on-skin portrait style. At the opening night reception, SECON attendees sat for their Dear World portrait and write their love notes.
To whom or what they wrote was up to them.

You are lovely via our shoot with Falling Whistles
Falling Whistles gives a small window into our world’s largest war. Originally just a journal written about boys sent to the frontlines of war armed with only a whistle, readers forwarded it with the same kind of urgency in which it was written and demanded to know –
You really need to check out Falling Whistles!
