2) to create, device and further philanthropic initiatives that by connecting awareness, creativity and culture with issues such as education and social change, systemic change, sustainability and the environment, may enhance the attainment of a higher individual and collective state of consciousness;
3) to share information which could assist an awakened development of educators, artists, researchers and scholars in the fields of activity of the Foundation;
4) to document, archive, preserve, conserve, diffuse and promote Momo’s legacy via an online public access to the Collection and the catalogue raisonné of all Momo’s known artworks, and to the repository of his writings;
