Drawing for Peace Art Performance Events Organized by Javier Ideami
San Francisco, February 2011
Drawing for peace is a series of art performance events organized by multidisciplinary artist Javier Ideami, director of Ideami Studios. These events highlight an important message, the value of art as a tool to bring people together, encouraging them to collaborate in building something larger than themselves, focusing on the joy of being creative and interacting with others while staying away from conflicts.
The events consist of creating giant sand drawings at different beaches around the world. Participants have to work locally on different parts of the giant drawing while they maintain collaboration, cooperation and interaction with the rest of the team. They won’t be able to see the final result until their job is done. This is usually a very magical moment, when the team can contemplate the final result that was born from their individual contributions, marks and steps that have over time generated the giant drawing.
An initial direction for the drawing is decided and then participants are encouraged to contribute with their own ideas, materials and variations, all within the direction and guidance of Ideami in a well synchronized process that takes the team from an empty patch of sand to a finished giant drawing. These giant sand drawings are great metaphors about the importance of working with each other and understanding each other’s perspectives. They are also great metaphors about life itself.
Drawing on the sand is also very good for the mind. Surrounded by the peace and serenity of the ocean and the wind, working slowly and deeply on the sand, people’s mind can become more peaceful and tranquil, and return to the playful kid like state in which all we are focused on is the next mark, the next step on the sand.
One of the taglines of – drawing for peace – is : You are an artist, your life is your art.
Many people think they cannot be artists because they feel they are not very creative. The reality is that the act itself of living is in itself a giant creative effort in which we face multiple obstacles that we constantly have to solve in different creative ways. Our own existence is an artistic statement, we are all artists of life.
We all have the capability to use our bodies and minds to express our interpretations and views of the world and life around us. By sharing our perspectives with others, by building on each other’s art, we can achieve and create amazing things that the lone individual cannot reach. These giant sand drawings are great metaphores about how working with each other and understanding each other’s perspectives can bring us to a much larger goal that benefits everybody.
People around the world can join the next performances of Drawing for Peace or simply support the community and this universal cause by joining the Drawing for Peace Facebook fan page and the project’s web page. There will be more performances on the sand as well as other events and activities coming up.
Drawing for Peace is organized by Javier Ideami and Ideami Studios (www.ideami.com).

Some of Ideami’s activities are: masterclasses and conferences about creativity, team building creative events for companies and groups, photography and film production and postproduction, museum installations, art & technology ventures, internet and tech projects and many other things.
