A thousand messages of peace at Bestival

February 1st, 2011

The WMD Awareness Programme had a massive success at this year’s Bestival with an installation that engaged thousands of people with the urgent need for nuclear disarmament. All around the festival a thousand origami peace cranes – a longstanding symbol of nuclear disarmament – were placed, each with a unique reason for getting rid of nuclear weapons printed on its wing. The installation proved very popular and will reappear at various festivals in the summer of 2011.
