This project was inspired by a ceremony Matsuda initiated on Hiroshima Day 2006, while attending the D. Fleiss Residency/ Symposia in Romania. One of the artists at the symposia Talal Moualla—who received daily phone calls from Syria and the United Arab Emirates about the Lebanon War—lent two paintings for the ceremony as a remembrance of the victims of war and a prayer for peace. In attendance were artists from Syria, Egypt, Morocco, Japan, France, the United States, Hungary, the Ukraine, Romania, Germany, Brazil, Italy, Spain, Thailand, the United Arab Emirates, Poland and others. This project is a continuation of that experience. Along with artists from the D. Fleiss Symposia/Residency, artists from around the world have made artworks out of cloth to hang together like Tibetan prayer flags. The pieces will first be hung at the Grafton Peace Pagoda for the annual Hiroshima Memorial Prayer Ceremony. Then the pieces will travel to the participating artists’ countries for ceremonies and exhibitions as a symbol of peace around the world.When:
