What does your peace look like?
If »without peace everything is nothing« and if we want to express our desire for peace today, what does this actually look like? What image would you create that others might also want to participate in?
The createPeace initiative invites artists and cultural workers to contribute their personal views of peace. The individual works open doors to new spaces for discussion about peace – both online and in direct encounters.
The world seems to be sinking into a multitude of crises and conflicts. The flood of negative news is overwhelming. Many people struggle with the feeling of powerlessness.
In order to constructively address this powerlessness, courage and the will to create profound changes are needed more than ever. It needs ideas and images that counteract the negative news: positive images.
The createPeace initiative is organized by Matthias Ries and Kirches-Ban.de.
