Artists from LA and beyond will examine the questions: After 10 years of the Global War on Terror, where do we now stand as a nation? Is the world a safer place? Where does the Peace movement go from here?
Teach-ins will be held with LA Vs. War grassroots activist-partners Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW), Code Pink, Youth Justice Coalition, Antiwar.com, Center for the Study of Political Graphics, Campaign to Rescind Special Order 11 and Californians United for a Responsible Budget (CURB) in an effort to inform and energize attendees in transforming their own lives and communities.
In the days leading up to the event, LA Vs. War organizers have confirmed two additional public peace murals by acclaimed street artists El Mac and Vyal. The group mural, "LA Madre Vs. WAR" by WERC, GERA, Contra and JC is currently running at the show’s venue.
The event will take place at The Vortex.
