About:

Nearly 15 years in the making, Huong's Peace Mural is the culmination of 30 years of searing memories that brings history to life and depicts the universal pain of
war and hope for peace. The complete mural includes nearly 2000 paintings. When fully presented, the mural stands 8' feet tall and 600 feet long. Exhibition of the
mural often includes a number of free-standing pieces from Huong's private war/peace collection. The combined presentation captures highly evocative images and concepts depicting multiple themes including: Voices of Children; Voices of the Troops; Mothers In War; The Peace of all Nations; The Flag at War; The Displaced and the Disabled;
The Cry of Refugee, and The Tortured.

Far more than simply an exhibition of art, the Peace Mural is highly interactive and participatory as it evokes civic engagement and calls forth from viewers a response
through reflection, dialogue and civic action. Viewers are invited to "sign on" for peace by adding their own thoughts and comments to panels scattered throughout
the mural. Exhibitions are typically accompanied with a series of community dialogues, educational events, artistic presentations and public actions. Most of these sidebar events take place on site at the exhibition and are sponsored by a variety of local partner organizations. The mural is both deeply spiritual and politically reflective as it calls forth citizen and community response. But most of all, it resonates a challenge and hope for peace in ways that only art can do. It inspires, it disturbs, and evokes personal responsibility. The Peace Mural is an expression of “people's art” as it informs and shapes civil society and stimulates vibrant participatory democracy.
