A Global Art Movement for Peace & Interdependence
Over 12,000 people across 100 cities have signed the Declarations of Interdependence — a living artwork and a call to end violence, end prejudice, and achieve respect for all.
What Is the Declaration of Interdependence?
Created by artist Roland Poska between 1988–1994, the Declarations of Interdependence are large-scale lithographs that serve as participatory art projects. People sign the artwork with their name and birth date if they agree:
“To end violence, end prejudice, and achieve respect for all.”
Each signature becomes part of a global tapestry — transforming participants from observers into co-creators of peace.
How It Works
We bring the art to your community, campus, or coalition.
Participants sign their name and birthday directly on the Declaration.
Events often include dialogue, art, storytelling, and local community-building.
Why It Matters
