"Peace Museums, Museums, And the Arts -- As Means for Generational Learning"
A paper for The Third International Conference of Peace Museums
articles/1998_11_06_Overby_Peace_Museums.pdf
Kyoto98 -- a paper on The Arts for Peace. This paper was presented at a conference on Peace Museums at Ritsumeikan University, Kyoto, Japan. It focuses on the potential inherent in the Arts to help us grow Generational Memories for the bestiality and absurdity of war -- so that youth will be less likely to have to learn of war through first-hand experience with it. A young Japanese installation artist, Yanagi, among others is discussed. Especially meaningful are Yanagi's Urashima Taro and A9 and his World-Flag-Ant-Farm and The 38th Parallel (North and South Korean Flags -- and ants) installations.
