PRAYERS FOR PEACE-PARIS OCTOBER 2003 -for the NUIT BLANCHE art event in PARIS-
ADDA DADA lit candles and floated them down the CANAL ST. MARTIN. It was called PRAYERS FOR PEACE. About 250 candles floated in the CANAL, and about 5,000 people saw the event. It was reported in the Paris newspaper the next day. The MINISTER OF CULTURE FOR PARIS wrote me a thank you note which i have framed.
==============================
There was quite a crowd that gathered to see where the candles were coming from.
==================================
Sometimes prayers are not answered, hence, ADDA will repeat PRAYERS FOR PEACE until the WAR IS OVER!

FRIDAY : 2011
i was chatting with friends about this and they were very much moved by this event, even without seeing the photos.
sO i DECIDED TO REPOST THESE PHOTOS FROM 2003 nuit blanche IN PARIS. :
-------------
Here's a fun story from 2006 about the event...
on a plane back to san francisco, i was chatting with a guy in the seat next to me. I was trying to explain my DADA ART...You should of seen the BLANK LOOK ON HIS FACE! HAHAHA...
So I thought he might understand, the PRAYERS FOR PEACE art event i did in paris back in 2003.
The woman in front of me overheard the conversation, and stood up and turned around and looked at me completely jaw-dropped & surprized. she said, " My friends in PARIS saw it and CALLED US IN THE USA about it!" They were THERE at the Canal when you did that..they saw it and said it was beautiful. I can't wait to call them I met the artist who did it!"
you can imagine, i was taken aback, and it was i who was then jaw-dropped amazed. she went on to describe the whole scene in detail. Her friends definately were there, for she described the event around the Canal fully.
she was VERY happy to meet me. we chatted a bit. and she thanked me.
i have to say, it was really nice to hear, as well as, it was a complete shock that such a little art project could make such an impact on people.
the guy sitting next to me smiled but one could tell, he just didn't get it in anyway or form. some folks are just not open to art or peace
