Making Room for Peace

An invitation to a completely new concept in peace: Spaces For Peace, a landscape, punctuated by beautiful glass walls, (laminated glass, developed for earthquake and hurricane prone areas) a material that transmits, refracts and plays with light, layered glass, which is digitally inscribed with writings by authors communicating the ethos of peace, the philosophy and logic of active-nonviolence, and ways of life beyond racism.

And, imprinted with images of translucent color-drawings, painting, photography, sculpture. And, so that the visual, and auditory texts change with time: GPS/wi-fi digital imagery, music, and poetry, and on-site live cultural programming by local organizations of performance, film festivals, yoga, dance, etc.-all in the spirit of an energy infused with positive movement towards the future all in the spirit of a society investing itself in the practical tools for a coolheaded approach to civic dialogue.

As an individual who wishes to see peaceable cultures but cannot imagine how to set in motion a nonviolent paradigm, please come to the Spaces For Peace introductory meeting to learn where you, your artwork (digital, interactive, or analog), your scientific research, your mind and your spirit fit in to a project that infuses nonviolence into cultures around the world-starting with New Mexico.

This meeting is your best opportunity to get in on the ground floor of Spaces For Peace, an interdisciplinary project emerging out of the nonviolence and peace movements, fluxus and postmodern art.

Spaces For Peace brings together local communities, modern and postmodern art, written word in all forms (poetry, theater, writings of great thinkers), music and sound to build public spaces that educate all people to the nonviolent way of life.

Spaces For Peace communicates nonlinear approaches of societal conflict resolution and is investigating how complex adaptive systems inform and evolve nonviolence.
