This is such a brilliant idea. It is time that we, the people take an active stand over our country's politics. Introducing an art project on the constitution is a wonderful initiative, something everyone should participate in. Congratulations and all the best to the VENT Team!

( not )WAITING FOR GODOT
First Scene: (In the exact location of Manor Farm)
After years of insurgency and thousands of death, not so holy alliance for mere power ousted Mr. Jones to the jungle. From the very first day Comrade Snowball and Dr. Napoleon with other blood sucking vampires,lowly vermins,who were there and have tasted it all before were once again back with the vengeance full of dreams in Manor farm.
Poor sheeps and goats bought their slogan- 'we all are equal' but they didnt realized ' some are more equal then others' like those comrades with Big cars,nice clothes, big houses and account full of 'forced donation'. Poor animals also bough their dream because there was no other alternatives. All other possibilities were tried and tested and failed miserably -time and again. So the animals decided with majority that snowball and Napoleon will bring Godot .
( But not so holy alliance kept the ball swinging from one court to another and it still is )
Last Scene (open green field with dark clouds with silverlining)
Animals on the farm have had enough and they came to their senses but there was nothing much they could do about it - except to wait for a Godot to come and miracle to happen .
(subtext- Godot may never came - or was he never supposed to come - does he even exist?
What if he never show up ? or Will he come with a Midas touch?
(Sunset on the horizon)
The Manor farm is dead Silent .
The End

There's one word to sum it all up: Brilliant. What I like about this project is that when other doomsday soothsayers were saying that it's the end of the world as we knew it, you guys were doing something creative to do something about it!
Kudos!
I can't thank the team enough. I can't wait to hit upon an idea to participate! Keep it coming guys
:D

What an amazing piece of art! The three bald men are looking up at the sky as if god is going to hurl a ready-made constitution down at them. Tathastu!
Is this what the CA members have been doing for the past two years as well?
