Please join us in the 2023 World Artists Declaration of Peace on the Korean Peninsula.
July 27, 2023 marks the 70th anniversary of the armistice agreement between the two Koreas after the Korean War. The Korean War was not only a great tragedy for the Korean people, but also an international conflict, which resulted in greater sacrifices. This instability has been going on for 70 years.
Therefore, peace on the Korean Peninsula must be converted into a peace agreement as soon as possible for not only the peace and well-being of the Korean people, but also the peace of the world.
However, the situation surrounding the Korean Peninsula these days is heightening the atmosphere that war will resume again.
As the dichotomous confrontation between the great powers has been strengthened and military training of neighboring countries on the Korean Peninsula has expanded, the word "use of nuclear force" has emerged without hesitation.
Looking at the recent war in Ukraine, the current war is not just a small tragedy happening in one place on the other side of the globe, but it is leading to a tragedy that the whole world suffers at the same time.
Any kind of war must stop and there must never again be a war anywhere.
Show us the power of solidarity of peace-loving artists around the world, as the saying goes, art first lights up when times are dark.Show that the power of art is to bring people closer to nature, to value production rather than destruction, and to make life more precious than death.
