"The Non-Violence Project has spent more than thirty years demonstrating that creative expression can shape how young people see themselves, their communities, and their ability to make change. This workshop extends that work into a public, collaborative setting, inviting students to engage directly with a global symbol and contribute their own perspective."
"Participants will work with a shared visual template to produce their own interpretations of the art installment. One design will be selected to become a permanent sculpture at National Sawdust, giving a young artist the opportunity to leave a lasting mark in Brooklyn."
The Non-Violence Project North America Foundation is hosting a free art workshop on April 25 for students aged 12 and older. Participants will reinterpret the Knotted Gun sculpture, a symbol of peace honoring John Lennon. The workshop aims to inspire youth engagement through creative expression. One design will be selected for a permanent sculpture at National Sawdust. Local artist Jenna Morello will guide the students, and live performances will enhance the event's atmosphere. The original sculpture was created by Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd in memory of Lennon.
