Peace Spiral
“We need to change our metaphors, if we are to imagine a world with peace”.
The Peace Spiral was created at a special Forum on Forgiveness organized by Father Vazken. – “We need to change our metaphors. If we are to imagine a world with peace, we must speak a language that includes forgiveness, as much as it does tolerance and understanding.”
The Peace Spiral was created by setting up a photo studio at the event location and photographing every participant with arms extended, palms open. Then the artwork was created by placing every person into the art, palm touching palm in a cosmic spiral configuration to portray in a visual art form the mission of the event.
Gor Music
“This is the first time we are trying to create new, modern, spiritual songs.”
Gor Mkhitarian performs spiritual music at the release of his album Hogi (Spirit) at the Zipper Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles, Dec. 18, 2008.
Los Angeles – On December 18, 2008, as Gor Mkhitarian took the stage and the lights dimmed, he sat on a chair with his guitar on his lap and began to sing: “Hayr mer, vor hergins es, surp yeghitsi anun ko. . . .”
The performance, at a concert celebrating the release of his seventh studio album, Spirit (Hoki) – held at the Zipper Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles – probably marked the first time that “Hayr Mer” (the Lord’s Prayer) was being sung with guitar accompaniment in front of an audience.
7X77
“They walked in the shoes of Christ knowing that love is a greater power than evil.”
“Ninety years after the Armenian Genocide of 1915, a group of men and women — many of whom were descendents of survivors — marched onto a desert. On Sunday, April 24, 2005 this group donning t-shirts with the mathematical notation “7×77″ lined up with their palms united in a human ribbon of love and solidarity. They walked in the shoes of a generation who knew only suffering.
