The Peace Posters includes artwork and writing not only from across Australia, but also from Iran, USA, Spain, the Caribbean and France, and also by people whose lives cross many borders. We believe there is much hope to be found in playfully creating solidarity around the world, to build peaceful autonomous alliances that traverse governmental borders.

Actions against war and towards the building of a peaceful society couldn’t be more relevant today. Especially considering not only Australia’s involvement in conflicts overseas (the war in Afghanistan has been raging for nine years) but also the involvement of Australia in the manufacturing of war machines, the use of Australia as a centre for US military bases, and the everyday injustice faced by Indigenous Australians particularly in areas under the Federal Government intervention.

One featured poet, Mammad Aidani, says he hopes that people reading his work “reflect deeper that war and hatred are not the solutions for our problems in this violent world, and recognise that peace, human rights for all and freedom are the only ways which can unite us. We need to respect, care, recognise and learn how to live together regardless of who we are, what we believe and where we come from. We have a long way to go, but we must never lose hope and determination and work as hard as we can to make this dream possible.”
