Go Ganesha Go: Peace Made Visible

Naturalmente Roma is an art initiative, founded in 2003 by Rose-Marie Gnausch. The group are requesting expressions of interest from worldwide artists to take part in an exhibition next May celebrating peace. Entries demonstrating peace, manifest in the symbol of the elephant inspired by Hindu deity Ganesha, son of Shiva and 'Remover of Obstacles', will be shown in Cyprus with the possibility of travelling further afield thereafter. To take part apply here.

"AN INTERNATIONAL CALLING FOR ARTISTS OF ALL DISCIPLINES AND ALL MEDIUMS

Topic: Elephant as symbol of PEACE
Site: Ledra Street, Cyprus
Proposed time period: May 2009

The common symbol for this project is the elephant. The elephant stands for grandeur and peacefulness, it being an animal that lives in harmony with its disparate surroundings.

Artworks in the form of elephants in all different shapes, sizes and mediums will be exhibited on Ledra Street, on both sides of the dividing line, in Spring 2009. Through its calm presence, the elephant will transcend its status as a symbol and become a real, visual and tangible experience of peace open to everyone. The works will be shown alongside the artists name, address and nationality. Thousands of different elephant figures created by people from all around the world will be testimony to a worldwide affirmation of peace."
