“Speak Peace" - an exhibition in which American voices respond in poetry to Vietnamese children's paintings on the themes of war and peace.
January 8 - February 27
Opening Reception: January 8 from 1 - 4:30PM
This
international exchange between image and word
evolved out of a peace education
project.
"SPEAK PEACE"
opened early this year in Washington, DC and will continue on a
national
tour. The
exhibit includes 34 works of art done by Vietnamese children ages 4-14
paired
with poems by American children, veterans, some adults and even school
classrooms.
The
art and poetry works were over a ten-year period as a collaboration between Wick
Poetry
Center,
Kent State University Soldiers Heart organization and the War Remnants Museum in
Vietnam.
The exhibition showcases the visions of Vietnamese children and the power
of poetry
to
promote healing and reconciliation. The intent of this word and image
collaboration is to
promote
cross-cultural understanding and involve the community in the healing process.
A collection of photographs of Vietnamese children and places by local
artist, Sharon
McCarthy,
will also be on exhibit.
