The BAPTISM
THE BAPTISM“The Baptism” recreates the Black body as the flower, as the field, as the seminal building blocks of life, even as architecture, as when Mr. Rux says, “Every being is a building with music — grace upon grace upon grace.”
text from: www.nytimes.com
"The Baptism," written by poet and artist Carl Hancock Rux and directed by artist Carrie Mae Weems, pays homage to the monumental impact of John Lewis and C.T. Vivian—two towering figures in American history.
Commissioned by Lincoln Center, this 11-minute abstract film is available for free. You can also access additional interview footage of Carl Hancock Rux, who shares insight into the profound moments that shaped his life and art.

Espoir de Paix
The Hope for Peace (Espoir de Paix) Monument is a monument in Yarze, Lebanon, made to celebrate the end of the Lebanese Civil War in 1990. It was designed by the French-born American artist Armand Fernandez. It is located near the Ministry of National Defence. It was built in 1995. It is the official monument to commemorate the end of the civil war in Lebanon.
The monument is unusual in that it contains 78 military vehicles, from a range of eras and nations. The monument resembles a bombed-out building, with the vehicles positioned in it. The guns of the tanks and military vehicles stick out of it, mostly pointing in one direction.

".. follow these artists in solidarity and support their work. Share their pieces, and say the names of those who have been killed. But don't stop there; solidarity and anti-racism are choices you make actively, from moment to moment. They are not identities you get to passively and comfortably rest on. It's vital to show up for Black people and call out anti-Blackness, both with your actions and with your words."

Clayton CAMPBELL: 'Words we have learned since 9/11'
We are living through a time of extraordinary social, physical and spiritual change. My practice seeks to find an alignment with the meanings behind these transformations. I make narrative, representational photo based art works that become social commentaries by exploring the behavior of ordinary people who find themselves in extraordinary circumstances.

'The Art of Peace' – Morihei UESHIBA
“When you bow deeply to the universe,
it bows back;
when you call out the name of God,
it echoes inside you.”
The real way of the warrior is based on compassion, wisdom, fearlessness, and love of nature. So taught the great Morihei UESHIBA (1883–1969), founder of the Japanese martial art of Aikido.

Whether we like it or not faith has dominated the debate for ages and probably for ages to come. It was proven by me because of projects like the P.O.Box of God how relevant religion still is. It’s because of the nature religion is about, it embodies the need Humans have in having faith in symbols and rituals. read more: www.johanvanderdong.nl/

Pablo PICASSO: 'Guernica'
Guernica (Spanish: [ɡeɾˈnika], Basque: [ɡernika]) is a large 1937 oil painting on canvas by Spanish artist Pablo Picasso. One of Picasso's best known works, Guernica is regarded by many art critics as one of the most moving and powerful anti-war paintings in history. It is exhibited in the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid.
The gray, black, and white painting, which is 3.49 meters (11 ft 5 in) tall and 7.76 meters (25 ft 6 in) across, portrays the suffering of people and animals wrought by violence and chaos. Prominent in the composition are a gored horse, a bull, screaming women, dismemberment, and flames.
Picasso painted Guernica at his home in Paris in response to the bombing of Guernica, a Basque Country town in northern Spain, by Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy at the request of the Spanish Nationalists. Upon completion, Guernica was exhibited at the Spanish display at the 1937 Paris International Exposition, and then at other venues around the world. The touring exhibition was used to raise funds for Spanish war relief. The painting soon became famous and widely acclaimed, and it helped bring worldwide attention to the Spanish Civil War.

Qassim ALSEAD: 'Shortly after the War'
My Beautiful Enemy – دشمن زیبای من – عدوي الجميل
Farhad Foroutanian & Qassim Alsaedy
Mesopotamia and Persia, Iraq and Iran. Two civilizations, two fertile counties in an arid environment. The historical Garden of Eden and the basis of civilization in the ancient world. But also the area were many wars were fought, from the antiquity to the present.The recent war between Iraq and Iran (1980-1988) left deep traces in the lives and the works of the artists
The artists Qassim Alsaedy (Iraq) and Farhad Foroutanian (Iran) both lived through the last gruesome conflict. Both artists, now living in exile in the Netherlands, took the initiative for this exhibition to reflect on this dark historical event, which marked the recent history of their homelands and their personal lives. Neither Farhad nor Qassim ever chose being eachother’s enemies. To the contrary, these two artists make a statement with ‘My Beautiful Enemy’ to confirm their friendship. link

World Wall for Peace
The purpose of the World Wall for Peace (WWFP) is to show how creativity can prevent and abolish conflict, and give people ways to walk down different street than the violent street. Peace is a verb. Peace is every breath, every step, every mile. The Peace Empowerment Process (PEP) shows that courage is the first peace power, and that every other, of over a hundred powers we all have, is achieved through courage. These more than a hundred powers form a complete circle, and the wholeness of the circle is non-violent power.

Morihei UESHIBA
Morihei Ueshiba (植芝 盛平, Ueshiba Morihei, December 14, 1883 – April 26, 1969) was a Japanese martial artist and founder of the martial art of aikido. He is often referred to as "the founder" Kaiso (開祖) or Ōsensei (大先生/翁先生), "Great Teacher". (text wikipedia)
"There are no contests in the Art of Peace. A true warrior is invincible because he or she contests with nothing. Defeat means to defeat the mind of contention that we harbor within."
