The LennonOno Grant for Peace was created by Yoko Ono Lennon to honour her late husband John Lennon’s dedication to peace and commitment to the preservation of human rights.

Created in 2002, this biennial award has always been given to two recipients.

To mark this special anniversary year, Yoko Ono presented this award to four recipients who have been selected based on their courage and commitment to peace, truth and human rights.

The recipients are:

Filmmaker Josh Fox wrote and directed the documentary feature film Gasland in 2010. Josh’s work is known for its mix of gripping narrative, heightened imagery and its commitment to socially conscious themes and subjects.

Barbara Kowalcyk was propelled into food safety advocacy in 2001, when her two-year-old son, Kevin, died after suffering an E.coli infection from tainted food. Barbara and her mother Patricia Buck created the Center for Foodborne Illness & Prevention (CFI) a national non-profit organization committed to improving public health by preventing foodborne illness through research, education, advocacy and service.

Author Michael Pollan has been writing books and articles about the places where nature and culture intersect: on our plates, in our farms and gardens, and in the built environment. He is the author of numerous best sellers, most recently Food Rules: An Eater’s Manual.

Author, poet, and activist Alice Walker is known for her brave stance against racism, sexism, and human rights issues. In 2009, she traveled to Gaza along with a group of 60 other female activists from the anti-war group Code Pink to oppose the controversial blockade and violence against Gaza by Israel and Egypt. Her book Overcoming Speechlessness documents her experiences in Gaza and abroad.

I met Yoko Ono yesterday at the Park Avenue Armory and before she autographed some press materials. I thanked her for all her anti-fracking work in Upstate New York.

Yoko Ono: The Road Of Hope

The prize-giving ceremony for the 8th Hiroshima Art Prize (sponsored by Hiroshima City and Asahi Newspapers), an award for contemporary artists whose work has contributed to peace, was held at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Hiroshima on July 29th. The avant-garde artist (78), wife of the late John Lennon, a former Beatle, was there to accept the prize. Saying that "the whole world recognises how Hiroshima picked itself up and rebuilt itself so remarkably after being totally annihilated," she spoke of her determination to evoke that power her future artistic work.

In the morning of the same day she visited the Hiroshima Peace Park, and laid a wreath at the Memorial Cenotaph for the victims of the atomic bombing. She also toured the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum (the atomic bomb archive), and appealed to people to "make sure to look (at the exhibits) and don’t try to avoid them. If you haven't been there yet, please do visit, and look carefully at them all."

To commemorate the award, the museum will host her exhibition "ROAD OF HOPE –YOKO ONO 2011 until October 16th. The exhibition features works inspired by the recent disaster at Fukushima, as well as the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and embodies a spirit of hope for the future.

Mobile Triennale - Part of the Aichi Triennale. Comes to Toyohashi August 23-25, 2013

Born 1933 in Tokyo, based in New York.

Ono Yoko

From the beginning of her career, Yoko Ono was a conceptualist whose work encompassed performance, instructions, film, music, and writing. By the late 1950s, she had become a recognized contributor to New York's avant-garde art activities, and her reputation for thought-provoking work that challenges people's understanding of art and the world around them has remained constant.

In 1960, she opened her Chambers Street loft to a series of radical performance works, and realized some of her early conceptual works there. In 1961, she had a solo show at the legendary AG Gallery in New York of her Instruction Paintings, and later that year performed a solo concert at Carnegie Recital Hall of revolutionary works involving movement, sound, and voice. In 1962, she returned to Tokyo, where she extended her New York performance at the Sogetsu Art Center, and showed her Instructions for Paintings there. In 1964 Yoko Ono performed Cut Piece in Kyoto and Tokyo, and published Grapefruit.

From the mid 1960s onwards, there has been great interest in Ono's work internationally. She has made a number of films and has had numerous exhibitions in prestigious museums around the world. In 2011 alone she held four solo exhibitions in Tokyo, New York and Japan.

At the 2009 Venice Biennale, she received the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement. On the occasion of her exhibition "Road of Hope - Yoko Ono 2011" at the Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art, she was honored with the prestigious 8th Hiroshima Art Prize for her dedicated peace activism. This year, she was given the Oskar Kokoschka Prize 2012 in Vienna, Austria.

In 2007, she created the permanent installation IMAGINE PEACE TOWER in Iceland, and continues to work tirelessly for peace with her IMAGINE PEACE campaign. For further details, see www.imaginepeace.com
