Peace and Quiet
It's not just a state of mind — it's an interactive exhibition.
Overview
We've all wished for a little peace and quiet — but while we're yearning for such a blissful state, we're probably not thinking about what that really means. Peace is a term with personal, social and political importance, particularly in relation to war and combat.
As part of the State Library of Queensland's Q ANZAC 100: Memories for a New Generation project, they're turning their attention to the concept of harmony via a community-generated exhibition. Artists Elizabeth Woods and Kevin Leong have collected the thoughts and gestures of contemporary Queenslanders during peacetime. Of course, everything comes together against the ever-present and inescapable backdrop of growing international political conflict.
As well as admiring the resulting artworks, attendees can do their part, with the exhibition an interactive affair. Learn to craft something wearable to add to the gallery, or get a peaceful makeover, then take a selfie and contribute that. Or, share the peace around by making a gift for a loved one.
