Cities for peace

A STRONG MESSAGE IN YOUR HOODS

Our vision is to connect the people of the world with one of the most recognized symbols of non-violence and peace – the gun with the knotted barrel.

We estimate that almost a billion people have seen the sculpture by now, and that some 100 million new people see it for the first time every year. Today it is placed at 30 prestigious locations around the world.

We are offering this strong peace symbol to cities around the world, yours as well. By placing the bronze sculpture in your city center or staging a Non-Violence exhibition, featuring replicas interpreted by our ambassadors, you communicate a strong non-violence message to your citizens. You will also, as a Non-violence City be connected with all other cities around the world that have the same vision of a more peaceful society.

CONNECTING PEACEFUL CITIES IN THE WORLD

A placement of a bronze sculpture will also include presence in our digital Cities for Peace Exhibition Tour on Google Earth, which makes it possible for you to market your city in connection with all of your social media activities.
