Exhibition for Peace
|
Within the global activities organized on the occasion of September 21, International Day of Peace, the Ars Studio NGO will open an art and graphic novel exhibition with works by Macedonian and foreign authors. The exhibition will be officially opened on Thursday, September 21, 20:00 hours, at the “Sv. Kliment Ohridski” National and University Library in Skopje.
Twelve Macedonian artists and a group of graphic novel artists from Northern England will exhibit their works. The announced participants from India didn’t make it, due to visa problems. In addition to India, interest for cooperation was demonstrated by individuals and organizations from a number of African states and from Brazil. “There is a true skepticism whether there will ever be peace in the world. The message we want to send is that voice should be given to every individual, since the individuals have the influence and the power to solve the problems”, said Irena Gapkovska from Art Studio. However, Art Studio is convinced that the skepticism and the passive pessimism can be overcome with enough enthusiasm and faith in the ideals that world peace is possible. The exhibition is supported by IMAF International Music and Arts Foundation from Liechtenstein, as well as several philanthropic individuals from Macedonia who have invested personal efforts to reach the goals of the organization. Art Studio participates in this years celebrations of the International Day of Peace on invitation by Jeremy Gilley from Peace One Day organization from London, the initiator of the Resolution 282 of the UN General Assembly that established September 21 as the International Day of Ceasefire and peace. |
