‘It is so distressing to see the levels of violence and aggression in the world. It is particularly shocking to witness the hypocrisy of those who advocate for peace on one hand while making billions from the sale of arms and weapons on the other. We hope that art can be a catalyst for change and advocate for the peaceful transformations that the world needs.’

In the face of armed hostilities across the globe, ‘speaking peace’, printing the word PEACE, is at least something positive we can do.
