International Reconciliation Year 2009.

It seemed fitting to see in the new year in with a message of peace. It is an age old cliché that needs little explanation in such interesting times.

From the United Nations website:

Reconciliation was a way of embedding into culture the high ideals beyond petty concerns, a process that made humanity and the common good the cornerstone of development. Reconciliation between those estranged by conflicts was the only way to confront today‘s challenges and the process and practice of reconciliation must be promoted by States; between men and women, nature and humanity, and wherever fraternity and justice were absent from human relations. The initiative had the support of governments, institutions of higher learning, civil society groups, the alliance of civilizations and the culture of peace.

In response the studio has developed an image of peace, executed with a collection of stamps and some spare time.

Happy holidays to all. Thank you to all our contributors, our clients, our collaborators and those of you out there on the other side of computer screen interested in our works and the ideas in and around communicating ideas to the community.

Peace and reconciliation to one and all in 2009 and beyond.
