Robert Blodgett
Painter, Philosopher, peace maker
Robert is completing his Master's in Philosophy at the University of Vienna. Human rights such as the right to have a certain quality of life which allows for satisfactory level of well-being for one's self and one's family, are absolutely essential to peace, and the elimination of poverty is essential to these rights. Thomas Pogge says poverty is like slavery, there either exists poverty or there does not, reducing poverty in this sense is then not an option; poverty must be eliminated. Peace, then, does not consist in half-measured efforts but in the total elimination of poverty, and the promotion of human rights.
Chhaya Mathur Saint Ramon
Peace Museum paris
An Indo French woman, with two young bicultural children. For the future of mine and other children, helping create a world without strife. Where every child gets a peaceful environment to sustain rowth beside food, shelter and education to thriven. Where every human being can live in dignity. Where everyone can contribute freely to the best of their ability. Utopia? It will be,if we giveup. I was born in India at a time when the elected Prime Ministre saw herself losing power and declared nationwide Emergency. Thus turning a democratic country to an autocratic state. Though the Emergency power lasted around three years, the repercussions were felt over generations. Indian ever declared war for over a thousand years, yet, today, it is struggling with divisions of every kind. I see some of those lines appearing in my adopted country France as well. Having lived in Jordan in my early twenties, I gotto see the Palestinian’s refugee's plight. Working with UN’s World Food Program even though I was on the peripherique, I got to know of how much needed to be done. Syria, Iraq, Sierra Leone…… may seem far, if you find yourself in another geography. But in today’s connected world, either we have peace everywhere or feelt heripple effects come knocking on our doorsteps. If I can help in any smallest of way to create a more inclusive, peaceful environment, then I Would have contributed to leaving a better world for the coming generation.
Fritz Fuhrmann
Artist, painter
Many years ago I had a store at Vienna and I had two Posters at the windows on a frequented street. One about Eisenhower and one about Julian Assange, where ist was said:
„Every gun that is built, every warship that is launched, every missile that is fired is ultimately a theft from those who are hungry and have nothing to eat, those who are cold and have no clothes. A world under arms does not just squander money alone. It also squanders the sweat of its workers, the spirit of its scientists, and the hope of its children."
Dwight D. Eisenhower former President of the U.S. and
„If wars can be started by lies, peace can be started by truth."
