Featured Reviews
"I use THE ART OF UN-WAR in my class “The Power of Nonviolence for Social Change” and heartedly recommend this film for the important issues it raises and fruitful discussions it provokes, both in the classroom and in society. It is an inspirational and timely film." Douglas P. Fry, Anthropologist, Professor, and Chair, Department of Peace and Conflict Studies. The University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Author of “Beyond War: The Human Potential for Peace"
"THE ART OF UN-WAR is an important contribution to the world, to history, and to Krzysztof Wodiczko's work", Mary Schneider Enriquez, Houghton Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, Harvard Art Museums
"More than ever, in these challenging times, we need art that addresses the trauma of war, displacement, and violence." Beverly Naidus, Professor Emerita of Interdisciplinary Arts, University of Washington, Tacoma.
"THE ART OF UN-WAR encourages discussions about major social and cultural issues as well as the powerful work of peace activism through art." Joanna Raczynska, Film Programmer, National Gallery of Art
"Krzysztof Wodiczko's public projections and installations challenge the cultural signifiers reinforcing a bellicose conception of the nation-state while centering the voices and concerns of those people most directly affected by war. Maria Niro skillfully captures the ephemeral and emotionally compelling anti-war art of Krzysztof Wodiczko. " Kelly DeVine Artistic Director, Global Peace Film Festival
"THE ART OF UN-WAR reveals how artist Krzysztof Wodiczko's work employs surprise, illusion, and intrigue to engage an audience, beyond the fine art cognoscenti."
John Carson, Artist & Educator, Carnegie Mellon University
"THE ART OF UN-WAR is beautifully conceived and compelling... Krzysztof Wodiczko's brilliant and inspiring art challenges us to rethink our perception and understanding of war at this critical moment." Jury Award, Special Mention, Sebastopol Documentary Film Festival
