Peace Tiles

Peace Tiles World AIDS Day Project • www.peacetiles.net

Salt Spring Island is being invited to participate in an international art project that brings together communities around the world in a creative response to the AIDS crisis. Dubbed "Peace Tiles World AIDS Day Art Action", this collaborative workshop is designed to engage children and youth globally in the co-production of twin art installations.

Memory Flags

Time To Deliver: Community Action on AIDS is a public engagement event that brings the urgency of AIDS home. A field of 8,000 flags, arranged in the shape of a red AIDS ribbon surrounded by white crosses, confronts visitors with the dramatic and tragic scale of AIDS.

Quilts

In the spirit of engaging people to ACT meaningfully, the flag project takes on a life of its own once the flags are taken down. Artists, teachers, quilters, grandparents... anyone who has a hand with a needle and thread was invited to transform flags into squares of quilts, which can be seen here. The quilts were sent to Lesotho, Southern Africa, in November 2006 to act as warm blankets for orphans who live in the mountains.
