Windows and Mirrors

Honk for Peace

9th Anniversary of Stand for Peace

Join our WAM partner Georgia WAND at their 9th Annual Stand for Peace at Colony Square at the corner of Peachtree Street and 14th Street.  Protest, Songs, Music, Dance, Poets!

Standing on Sacred Grounds

Performing artists Paula Larke and Kim Nimoy

The performance evening will feature artists from multiple disciplines and connects to themes in the Windows and Mirrors exhibit.  We challenge artists to consider and construct work around the social and cultural ways we conceive of war and peace. Our nation has so many conflicting sayings and ideas around war and peace, such as “prepare for peace, but arm for war” this is an evening that will unpack these idioms.
