Ghana Think Tank is a public art project founded in 2006. They are a global network, with think tanks located in Ghana, Cuba, Serbia, Mexico, and El Salvador. Their mission to "develop the first world" is implemented by finding solutions to problems in Europe and the United States by sending them to their think tanks to analyze. Some themes include immigration, legal waiting zones, and racial profiling. ==Background== The Ghana think tank was founded by Christopher Robbins, John Ewing and Matey Odonkor in 2006. They were later joined by Carmen Montoya in 2009. Christopher Robbins, while working at the Peace Corps in Benin, witnessed "first world" countries attempting to solve the issues of a culture they were completely unfamiliar with For him, the Ghana Think Tank was initially a response to that experience, turning it upside down and allowing other cultures to find solutions for the United States and their "first world" problems. One of Ghana Think Tank's earliest projects took place in Providence, Rhode Island. The problems listed varied in importance, from "obesity in america" and "homelessness" to "I can't dance." Although never implemented, one suggested solution from El Salvador for obesity and homelessness was to hire the homeless, dress them up in fat suits and make them perform social theater to overweight individuals. This proposal was never fulfilled but it was decided after this that the Ghana Think Tank would implement each solution no matter how irrational it may be. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ghana Think Tank」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
