The new global art monument project will be composed of 100 individual, mile-long walkways that honor the world's peacemakers. These walkways, similar to the Hollywood Walk of Fame, will be dotted with plaques dedicated to those peacemakers who have stood out in ordinary and extraordinary ways to make the world a more peaceful and harmonious place to live. The goal is to have these walkways in cities, towns, and campuses across the globe, uniform in their design and plaques, but unique in their location and culture. The walkways will be associated with a smartphone app so that someone in Cairo walking down a peace walkway will have a shared experience as someone walking in Stockholm or Beijing. The incorporation of this app, enables visitors to not only know more about the walk's honorees, but also to communicate anonymously with each other in a real-time, organic way. This is the essence of peace, a solidarity of mind and spirit across borders. The first applicant for this project has come forward in New Zealand, and like all journeys the first step is momentous.
