NEW ARTWORK DEDICATED TO PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT NATIONS’ SOLVING THEIR CONFLICT THROUGH NON-VIOLENT MEANS

On April 12, 2007, artist Mitra Lore will dedicate a new work entitled, “Conviction,” during a meeting of a coalition of organizations that are working to resolve tensions between the US and Iran and rebuild relations through dialogue and diplomacy. The dedication will take place at 5 pm EDT in the Langston Room and the artwork will be on display at Busboys and Poets in Washington DC (2021 14th Street NW).

According to Mitra, “This art piece reminds us of the legacy we are leaving behind for our children, their children and the generations to follow. From the crimes we commit in the name of God to our never-ending greed for dominance, power and possessions.” She adds that the piece is “dedicated to people who support nations’ solving their conflicts through non-violent means.”
