~ ~ ~ Overview ~ ~ ~
The Peace Mask Project is dedicated to creating bridges
between cultures and across generations through
community workshops and exhibitions
of original "Life Masks."
Also known as "Peace Masks," these unique and expressive
facial impressions are made from traditional hand-made papers.
Individually, each "life mask" represents
a serene symbol of peaceful spirit.
Shown together in large wall murals, the collective masks
also serve as a reminder that the fate of humankind depends on
allowing for and appreciating diversity while striving
towards more meaningful cooperation.
In addition to the life masks, portrait photographs and peace
statements of each model are recorded during the Peace
Mask Workshops and become integral components
of the exhibitions and the project record.
Working in conjunction with Korean, Japanese and
international peace and environmental NGOs, the volunteers
who contribute to the project are actively engaged in establishing,
promoting, and exhibiting new pathways to harmony and peace
in an increasingly more complex and fractured world.
Myong Hee Kim (creator and director),
The Daeum Institute, (organizer),
Robert Kowalczyk (international coordinator),
and all members of the volunteer staff
welcome any and all contributions of spirit and effort
to The Peace Mask Project.
