Room to Make Your Peace : 2010

Olympic Truce Project Vancouver 2010

Room To Make Your Peace is an interactive art installation created in the spirit of the Olympic Truce with contributions from people both online and at the site reflecting on what it takes to ?make your peace.? It?s a fitting phrase because this collaborative art work featured depends on people turning the peace reflections into delicate pieces of origami and sending them into flight. These small creations, each with their own little LED light collect high above the pedestrian atrium of the Vancouver Central Library, shimmering in the air as they become a collective art piece that grows in size with each contribution. As visitors participate in the seed of truce installation, their simple actions remind us that peace requires intention and action. The official Patron of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Truce is Her Excellency the Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean, Governor General of Canada who challenged all Canadians to respond online to the question: In your life or community how do you make your peace? Their responses were collected as part of the Canada CODE project and are now joined together with those who participate at Room to Make Your Peace resulting in a truce collaboration that can be shared and ?owned? by all.
