FLAGS FOR PEACE
The painting workshop aim is to create flags and banners that investigate the theme of peace. Over several days, the participants will be encouraged to compose with lines, forms, colours and symbols a large painting on a thin canvas expressing a personal statement for peace. At the end of the workshop the realized flags and banners will be carried in a parade on the streets.
