About 12seconds for Peace

'12seconds for Peace' is a collaborative video-arts project, designed to raise the energy of manifestation for peace on our planet and in our individual hearts and minds. When humanity manifests internal peace and recognises the natural order of the human condition, then peace in the world will follow. The proceeds from 12seconds for Peace will go to support and aid the various good causes of a number of charitable and non-profit organisations around the world.

12seconds for Peace - Bill Zygmant

Bill Zygmant, the man who took the very first photograph of John Lennon and Yoko Ono on the Kings Road in London, along with the classic 'Instant Karma' photographs of John and Yoko taken during a recording for the BBC, agreed to make a contribution for 12seconds for Peace. In this video you can see Bill standing alongside his own photographs of the man who inspired a generation and did so much for the cause of peace around the world. Surely John (and Yoko) would applaud Bill for his stand with them in promoting the cause of peace!




You can find out more about Bill's work and see some of his classic rock-legend photographs on his website at: Bill Zygmant Iconic Imagery.

12seconds for Peace Needs a Website!

Dear All,

In the year and a half that 12seconds for Peace has been running, it has grown inexorably from a little experiment in collaborative video arts, to sitting on the edge of becoming a global phenomenon within the peace movement, as well as a significant and globally important artistic statement.

Many have contributed their time to making videos for the project, others have offered their marketing and promotional advice for free. Magazines, podcasts, websites and radio stations have offered and undertaken interviews whilst film makers and production studios have offered advice and expertise on a number of fronts. 12seconds for Peace is continuing to grow as a consequence of the faith and commitment of many people.

But 12seconds for Peace needs to move on! It is time for it to leave behind this blog which has sustained it and been it's main window on the world for the past year and a half and move over to a professional website.

We are looking for someone who would be willing to donate their time to building a dedicated website for the project. If you have the skills and would like to help this project soar, then please do get in touch! 12seconds for Peace has no funding or expertise to draw on right now to make this happen. You can email to: 12seconds4peace@gmail.com

Peace,

12seconds for Peace

12seconds for Peace - Jessica Gilbert/Talent Spotlight Magazine.

It is with great pleasure that 12seconds for Peace brings you a video from Jessica Gilbert; the founder and editor of Talent Spotlight Magazine, which featured an interview with me in the January issue, as was reported here on the 1st February.

It is wonderful to have Jessica and Talent Spotlight Magazine on board with 12seconds for Peace and if you have not taken a look at the amazing arts coverage in TSM, then you should do so. You can find Talent Spotlight Magazine here: Talent Spotlight Magazine.

12seconds for Peace Links Up with the Create Peace Project

 
12seconds for Peace is in the process of linking up with the Create Peace Project; an 'arts-for-peace-education non-profit organization' based in San Francisco, California. CPP is the brainchild of Ross Holzman, who is it's founder and executive director and who has asked 12seconds for Peace to contribute to and partner with CPP over the 'Capture Peace' video component of their new educational resource: an arts for peace curriculum.

This is the Creat Peace Project mission statement:

Create Peace Project is an arts-for-peace-education non-profit organization. Through our work with people of all ages, our mission is to foster self-awareness, strengthen communities, and spread peace through creativity on a global scale. We achieve this by facilitating collaborative arts workshops and promoting positive peace practices through our arts-for-peace projects.

It is this commitment to the arts, along with the fundamental commitment to the fostering and building of peace in the world, that makes 12seconds for Peace and the Create Peace Project such ideal partners.

You will see the results of this link-up over the coming months as 12seconds for Peace contributes and develops a presence in partnering with the CPP over their 'Capture Peace' educational resource. For now, here are two videos that will give you a good idea of what the CPP are all about:
