The Pursuit of Happiness

250 years ago, the United States of America’s Declaration of Independence
stated that the “pursuit of happiness” is an “unalienable right”.
This pursuit is, and always has been, challenged by circumstance.
What overarching challenges to this pursuit have you observed
in your country, the world or the planet?
What does it mean to pursue?
Why is happiness different for different people?
What happiness have you seen?

We look forward to seeing a wide variety of interpretations of this theme.
