Ποιειν Και Πραττειν - create and do

The basic idea

 

      

          The canvas has the same size as Picasso's Guernica (7,8 - 3,5 m)

 

To paint together a peace mural on a canvas having the same size as Picasso's Guernica (7,8  3,5 m) means to be challenged by having such a huge space. It is something few artists can come to terms with whereas children and youth together have no such hesitation to fill that space with their own ideas about not only war and peace, but also what other things are needed on this earth to sustain life.

Concepts

Life is living in tension fields. Humanities has elaborated on this by calling them 'force fields' (Martin Jay).

The friendships gained as a result of the experiences made while painting together should allow a continuity of enriching empathy for the other by keeping alive the imagination.
