peace of wall will be exhibiting as part of art san diego 2010 from the 2nd - 5th september.
the hope is that the participation of the book and its story in art san diego will generate greater interest and support for the inclusion of east timor's free art school, arte moris, in art san diego 2011.

cross referencing
a couple of lads from arte moris baucau are in melbourne for an exhibition of their work in box hill. it's at the box hill community arts centre and is well worth a visit. i had fun walking through melbourne with them and, whilst they didnt get the chance to paint themselves, surprise, surprise, they found some of the city's tangled, and beautifully painted laneways the perfect place to pose.

"through these words - the words that we write - we don't write words about division and separation. we just write words about peace. we write, like, how can we strengthen unity in east timor?"
arte moris
"in timor, because of the indonesian occupation, we never did anything like this. for those of us that enjoy painting, we didn't see foreigners doing it. noone came and said 'this is good work coming from timor.' this work simply came from within us and it was something that we wanted to express. it's like an expression of liberty."
arte moris
"youth have a lot of questions, but few answers. they do not know what to do. they have no direction. there is little information for them to make good decisions. they are tired. they feel that they are just getting older and their opportunities are getting fewer. they feel there is no future. they are sick and tired and suffering from having their education stopped. with art, and through art, youth have something to do, and they have something to say. it is our voice."
