Art Healing Space III: A Mantra for Peace

Charles B. Wang Center, Stony Brook University | March 30 - April 30, 2006 |  Curated by Carla Macchiavello |  Dr. Sunita S. Mukhi, Direction; Alton Frabetti, Assistant Curator; Prof. Nobuho Nagasawa, Faculty Advisor

This exhibition was in conjunction with the Music For Peace Project

A Mantra for Peace is an art exhibition that brings together music and the plastic arts in an effort to invoke peace throughout the world. It invites artists from different countries and cultures to send through the mail an artwork that reflects on the word 'peace' and invokes its name, its meaning and substance as a mantra. |  Mantra is the repetition of a sacred word or verse creating a singularly focused musical vibration that solicits higher spiritual forces. The mantra's shape, meaning, and color resonate with the universe's own form and sounds, and its iteration allows for a contemplative, peaceful state that harmonically connects the physical and the immaterial.
