How Artists Find Peace In War
March 29, 2011
CAN YOU FIND PEACE IN WAR? The San Luis-Obispo, CA based Peace Library is more art gallery than circulating book den, but the community behind it uses art and books to express their thoughts on peace, war, and politics.
Some of the book-based art featured in the Peace Library are drawn, like co-founder Julie Frankel’s “Forgiveness” (above, left), while other pieces are photographic or collage. Some are decidedly non-traditional form, like the matchbox with old-style movie tickets as the book’s “pages.” Each piece makes a deeply personal statement on war.
The Peace Library’s website currently features five galleries of work. See them at the Library’s official site.
