Peaceful Acts Under Surveillance Event—
PAUSE for Peace is a worldwide Surveillance Art Event to take place on September 21st at noon in every time zone
to commemorate the International Day of Peace.
Today, there are an estimated 50 million surveillance cameras in the United States alone. To those who view us, we are anonymous, silent and disinterested. PAUSE for Peace is an event for individuals everywhere in the world who desire peace and who want to stand up, be seen and let art be their voice. At noon on September 21 (International Day of Peace) in every time zone across the globe, individuals take center stage by offering a peaceful display to one of these surveillance cameras. It could be a poster containing a message or peace, a song or skit, an act of meditation, or the offering of a sign of peace. It is our symbolic moment of telling those who monitor us, that we too are aware of their presence. Together we are accountable for making this a world steeped in positive peace--a non-violent world where justice prevails on all levels.
Participants create a solid wave of solidarity across the planet as people participate at noon in each time zone worldwide.
Keep the moment alive all year. Take a picture of your peaceful act and send it to us to post on our website.
