Artistic network

The artists which have become involved with Kids' Guernica - Guernica Youth decided in January 2010 to create a network of their own. The aim is to show own works while approaching the question of Kids' Guernica in a more open ended way with artists becoming reflective researchers as to the impact of the arts upon not only children and youth, but also upon the 'security agenda'.

Since 2005 there have been following developments:

Hatto Fischer meets the painter Jad Salman from Palestine while doing a Kids' Guernica peace mural in Turin at the Youth Festival organised by PEACE WAVES in collaboration with Poiein Kai Prattein (2005)
