Somewhere There’s A War…
And sometimes there’s art.
Those Wilco lyrics seemed the perfect introduction to a virtual art exhibition called “ARMS into ART.”
I don’t know about you, but I can hardly bear to watch the news anymore for all the reports about wars and warlike activities. So I was thrilled to find that this Mozambique artists’ collective, Núcleo de Arte, uses weapons in a more intelligent and creative fashion than the militia—by turning grenades, AK-47s, and land mines into sculpture.
Oh, if only artists ruled the world…
[Art, from top to bottom, by Mathe, Hilário, and Fiel.]
