Middle East Peace Sculpture
A cooperative Arab-Jewish children's project led to the creation of the Middle East Peace Sculpture, now permanently installed in the Peace Garden at Seattle Center, in the shadow of the Space Needle.
The project was initiated, designed and directed by Amineh Ayyad, Palestinian-American, to create a sculpture inspired by the art, poetry, and inter-group dialogue, and as a response to the escalating conflicts in the Middle East and the war against Iraq. Under the direction of Amineh Ayyad and local Iraqi Artist Sabah Al-Dhaher, children from The children of the Arab Center of Washington, the Middle East Peace Camp, Kadima, and the Iraqi Community Center worked together to create this sculpture all Spring and Summer in 2003.
