[HTML1] The Art Miles Mural Project creating a pyramid in Egypt from 12 miles of murals by worldwide artists to celebrate International Day of Peace 2010 is a dream being actualized by Joanne Tawfilis.
Joanne wrote in her Oprah application, “This idea started when I was working with orphans in post-conflict Bosnia and Herzegovina. They created a mural on a bullet-riddled sheet. It was there that I decided to initiate, facilitate, and create a ‘mural movement.’
“The project so far has visually documented the voices of hundreds of thousands of participants from over 125 countries. Because it has no language, religion, or political barriers, it is a real tool for peace building.”
You will love Joanne’s enthusiasm for those who have been touched by art and each other.
