Our artistic lives converged in Belfast, Northern Ireland. We were introduced to walls that divided neighborhoods, communities, and ways of being, politics, and religion. We spent our time listening to the stories of violence that had divided the people of this beautiful island. We learned from gifted peacemakers and community builders who continue to envision a sustainable world knit together by love and understanding.

We experienced that what walls do most is separate us from the possibility of participating in relationship. We began working together through our art and creativity workshops to see one another differently.

We will share our experiences with our art and conversation to help open our creativity and hearts that lead us to personal growth and renewed relationships.
