The Peace Project  London October 2012

Home for the first time since their removal from Parliament Square in May 2012 the two “Peace Plinths” will be re-united and unveiled as the centre piece of Art Below’s “The Peace Project” opening to the public at London’s Gallery Different (off Tottenham Court Road) on 12th October for one week.

The aim of the project is to show the devastating consequences of war, in order to raise money to fund a children’s play project in northern Iraq.

‘PEACE PLINTH’ AUCTION

Peacestrike plan to put both ‘Peace Plinths’ up for auction.

The idea is to add as much value to both plinths as possible. We have invited eminent artists to contribute art work. The theme is related to powerful images that inspire thought and reflection. The art work is predominantly to promote peace and for people to  know that there is a way forward that is realistic,if people work together towards this common goal.

All the proceeds will go to bona fide projects in Iraq.

Legal note because of the location of the ‘Peace Plinths’ in historical place and time, any removal without the specific permission of  Peacestrike, will be subject to a demand of £250,000.

We have a duty to protect the value for the children and people on who’s behalf we are campaigning.
