"A Peace of My Mind" photo exhibit - Northeastern Illinois University
"A Peace of My Mind" photo exhibit by a photographer named John Noltner, displayed on the second floor of the Student Union building at Northeastern Illinois University was an extremely moving and inspiring display. The exhibit consisted of pictures of people from different races and cultures around the world. These pictures came with each and every individual’s definition of peace, their personal encounters with the struggles for peace, and how they feel it should be carried out within their lives. The overall idea of this exhibit's message consisted of, the more we speak and share our thoughts about peace the more likely we are to achieve it.
Particularly, a woman named Kim Smith (depicted above), a writer, a poet, and a rapper, states "Peace in my life would be the state of oneness with everything, that sense of no conflict, no stress, and no strife. Complete ease." She feels that we do not really trust one another and once we begin to build that trust, only then we may begin to fully listen to one another and eliminate stereotypes and respond with Love. "The ongoing goal of “A Peace of My Mind” is to create an environment wherever it is shown in which people can share their thoughts about peace, as well as to create a body of work that can help us understand one another a little bit better" (NEIU, 2011).
