Elephant Parade @ SAM

haathi mere saathi
ARTIST: Farhad Hussain
SPONSOR: ABN AMRO Private Banking
LOCATION: Singapore Art Museum
Description:Farhad bases his work on the realities of human relationships and their complexities with nature. He applies his trademark use of bright, vibrant colors and a huge smile on his subjects to convey an intentional act of concealment and deceit. He endows his narrative with a sense of satire mixed with pathos. To Farhad the Elephant is such an intelligent and majestic animal and is revered in many cultures. Yet, they have been extensively used as beasts of burden.

ARTIST: Indieguerillas
SPONSOR: Elephant Parade Asia
LOCATION: Singapore Art Museum
Description:In the past, elephants live peacefully in the wild. Today, with habitat loss and extensive areas of the forest exploited by humans, these gentle giants have nowhere to go. Can the destroyers of habitat (humans) be also the ones who help save it?

ARTIST: Ben Cabrera
SPONSOR: PSA International
LOCATION: Singapore Art Museum
Description:The idea of having people around the elephant is to show that humans are the ones destroying the lives and habitat of the elephant. We are one of the main reasons for elephant to be extinct due to competition for space. We have to learn how to live side by side with elephants and take care of Mother Nature.

About Elephant Parade
It is Elephant Parade's mission to be the world's largest financial support organization for the Asian elephant, threatened with extinction. The open air art exhibitions create worldwide attention, public awareness and support for the cause of elephant conservation: the elephant statues never go unnoticed by the wider public and mass media.
Elephant Parade’s concept is a unique combination of Art, Business and Charity. Art drives the value of the Elephant Parade: the life size elephant statues are exhibited in well-known cities and auctioned off at prestigious gala events. Smaller size hand painted limited edition replicas are sold in ‘Elephant Parade Gallery Stores’ and the web shop. The more superior the quality of the Art, the more successful the Business, the higher the amounts raised for Charity.
Elephant Parade is not a charity, but it is probably the most charitable enterprise in the world. Part of all proceeds from Elephant Parade auctions and retail benefits various projects and organizations, dedicated to the conservation of the Asian elephant. To date, this unique concept made it possible to contribute over 4 million Euros to this goal, and is put to good use in projects varying from elephant hospitals and corridors to lobbying governments and research.
Many Asian elephants have been saved and cured, but there are still thousands more that need our support
