Doves of peace. International Day of Peace

For the International Day of Peace, we’re featuring a dramatic artwork created by thousands of hands. Peace Doves, an installation from 2021 by sculptor Peter Walker, brought together children and community groups in Liverpool. People wrote personal messages of peace on 18,000 paper doves, which were suspended on 15.5 miles of ribbon from the ceiling of Liverpool Cathedral. If you stood inside the canopy of doves, you could look up and see where the strings of birds converged into starry points of light. Composer David Harper’s musical soundscape added another layer to the artwork, which attracted 60,000 visitors in its first month.
