Artist Richard Kamler's project "Seeing Peace: Artists Collaborate with the United Nations" surfaces with Peace Billboards, May 26, 2008, in San Francisco. Ten artists form ten member states of the United Nations were asked to imagine what peace looks like from their unique cultural perspectives. Starting May 26, their visions will be displayed on full-sized outdoor billboards all over San Francisco. The artists are from South Africa, Cuba, Tibet, Puerto Rico, U.S., Iran, Ukraine, El Salvador, Japan and Israel. "The aim of this project," says Kamler, "is to incite members of our community to imagine for themselves their own vision of peace. Because if we cannot first imagine peace, we may never make it so." Some of the participating artists will join a May 26 bus tour to all the billboards sites, discussing the work and returning to the University of San Francisco for a reception. [LINK]
