New York: The International Network on Small Arms (IANSA) has teamed with the newly formed Art of Peace Charitable Trust in an effort to create “peace angel” monuments out of weapons.
The monuments will be crafted from melted-down guns and other weapons collected from around the world.
The first monument, a 30-by-32-foot sculpture, is planned for the city of New York. Future monuments are also planned for Los Angeles, California; Johannesburg, South Africa; Sarajevo, Bosnia/Herzegovina and Jerusalem, Israel.
IANSA, a global network 800 civil society groups working to stop gun violence and the proliferation of weapons, is a strategic partner of The Advocacy Project.
