‘Pacifism, not Passivism’ in Galerie Drift in Breda. &nbsp;Participating artists:<ul><li>A+B (NL): Assemblage, performance&nbsp;</li><li>Dave Diogo (PT) AV&nbsp;</li><li>Froso Papadimitriou (GR) Installation&nbsp;</li><li>Grietje Bouman (NL) Photography, video&nbsp;</li><li>Paulo Robalo (PT) Paintings&nbsp;</li><li>Tatum Kempers (NL) Textile, multimedia, video&nbsp;</li></ul>Why has humanity never lived in a peaceful world throughout its history? How much longer will it take until humans are capable of resolving conflicts peacefully? But even then, only the absence of war would not be peace. Humans can provide everything needed to make a better place for everyone: courage, justice, love, hope, and forgiveness. But humans do not do that.&nbsp;Why does humanity, in the Name of God, remain indifferent? Passively watching violence and injustice will never lead us to the destiny claimed by homo sapiens. Inability and unwillingness to condemn and intervene will only perpetuate oppression, exploitation, and violence. War and violence must become unacceptable to all people, not only for Pacifists.&nbsp;Humans must be able to achieve lasting peace through nonviolence, with courage, hope, forgiveness, and justice.Opening on 10 January at 14:00 (performance Lea Theunissen).

Gallery Drift showcases an exhibition of various artists with world peace as the theme.
