a public participatory project

a pinch of peace

A PINCH OF PEACE is an ongoing participatory arts project, choreo-curated by The Floating Village, that invites participants to embody peace as a creative resource and as a creative response to the times we are in. The project uses 48 blankets (1948 being the year that The Human Rights Charter was adopted) and provides an inclusive platform for creative responses to the theme of embodying peace.

BLANKETS OF PEACE

The Blankets for Peace project invites local artists and inhabitants of  Lisdoonvarna town in North Clare to offer their creative responses, and to drop their blankets into The Elbow Room in the Burren Artists Studios at the Gentian Press (see below dates). The blankets will then form an installation for the public, and will be further used for multiple peace gatherings moving into 2024 and beyond!

EMBODY PEACE.....CREATE BLANKETS

To source this creativity in embodied peace, we start every hour during the below opening timings with a simple 20m guided movement practice, open to all abilities and experiences, entitled "A Pinch of Peace". This is offered as a way to experience ease through sensorial awareness and deep listening to the body. You may choose to witness or to partake, as you wish. A section of the studio will be dedicated to working on a blanket of peace during these times.
