From April 10-13, in the old Firehouse in downtown Los Angeles’ budding warehouse district, top artists from LA gathered in a landmark event focusing all artwork on the travesty of this senseless war in Iraq now entering it’s 6th year. In an exercise of freedom of speech and art, the 4-day event, produced by John Carr, a top political poster artist and the curator of the international show Yo! What Happened to Peace? brought together artists from diverse communities of screenprinting, visual arts, sculpture, photography, DJs, postering, and film in a free event that had the city buzzing about the importance of protest and promoting peace through art.
