You’reIt

A celebration of creativity and self-expression.

An open invitation for young creators to make their mark on the world in unexpected ways.

The “You’re It” campaign was designed to ignite creativity and inspire a new generation of youth to step outside their comfort zones and create.

Converse has always championed individual expression. This campaign took that ethos further by turning everyday spaces, discarded materials, and unconventional objects into bold works of art.

Installations

Three artist worlds

Discarded materials became immersive structures, new rituals, and places to play.

Through digital storytelling, interactive content, and physical activations, the work made creativity feel accessible, playful, and limitless.

Every installation retained the evidence of its making: loose joins, unexpected objects, and the artists themselves inside the frame.

Process

The making

Creativity can flourish anywhere, with anything.

We collaborated with emerging artists from across Asia, inviting them to reimagine their surroundings using unexpected materials, from recycled plastics to urban debris, to build immersive, large-scale installations.

Each creation was a testament to how creativity can grow out of the ordinary. The campaign celebrated the raw experimentation, problem-solving, and personal expression that goes into making art, not only the finished pieces.
