Our Vision and Goals:

Bridge Divides, Foster Empathy: Here in London, we’re bringing communities together, breaking down polarized views, and building a “third path”—one that’s pro-peace for all. This is not about sides; it’s about shared humanity.

Stand for Peace, Not Hostility: We advocate for safety, freedom, and equality for all people. We’re only against one thing: violence. This event isn’t anti-anyone; it’s pro-everyone—pro-peace, pro-understanding, pro-connection.

Art as a Force for Change: Music and art go beyond politics; they unite us. We’re here to make Art & Peace, Not War—calling for an end to all conflict and an opening for dialogue, hope, and understanding.

Inspire Ripples of Peace: Peace starts with us and flows outward, connecting our circles. By coming together across borders, we’re creating ripples of peace that can inspire others to do the same.

An Open Invitation:

Experience the power of music to unify and inspire. If you believe in peace, empathy, and a world without violence, join us. Let’s break down walls, amplify understanding, and make art that creates a better world.

Let’s stand together for peace. Let’s make art, not war. Peace starts here.
