On November 11 1936, in London - England, the artist Eric Gill delivered his speech titled And Who Wants Peace? It was addressed to a group of Christian Pacifists. In his speech, Gill pointed out the entanglement of industrial war, artistic creation and money making.
On June 25 2015, in Gent - Belgium, the artist R'm Aharoni will carry out the same speech. This gesture is an invitation and a meeting point, which aims to implement the past in the current reality.
You are cordially invited.
