Reply #18: The Shadow Project is next week [View All]

[noamnety]

This year, August 6, 2005, is the sixtieth anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima. Once again we will offer the Shadow Project to all the people of the world. The Shadow Project is political art, by the people, for the world.

On the day before August 6th, we draw chalk shadows on streets and sidewalks, remembering the human shadows burnt into the streets of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. We do this so that on Hiroshima Day our neighbors will see these chalk outlines, and determine to never again cast nuclear shadows on the earth.

Not long ago, thirty-five million people marched in the streets against war. On August 6, 2005, we can let thirty-five million chalk shadows speak for us, and insist that nuclear policy be directed toward peace instead of war.

Please use the index at the left (see site) to explore the history of the Shadow Project, to find out which cities have done their own Shadow Projects, who is doing one this year, and how you can participate.
