Peace Bowl Exhibition

11-20th Dec 2024

City Assembly House, on South William Street, Dublin.

The Glass Society of Ireland presents Peace Bowls, an exhibition that stands as a statement in support of those affected by conflict, advocating for peace among people of all faiths and ethnicities. Join us in recognising the shared humanity that transcends borders and differences.

As conflict rages in Gaza and Ukraine, with innocent lives lost daily, the Society aims to promote peace and solidarity. Through these unique glass bowls, members reflect on the devastating human cost of war, emphasising the need for unity and compassion. This exhibition stands as a powerful statement in support of those affected by conflict, advocating for peace among people of all faiths and ethnicities. Join us in recognizing the shared humanity that transcends borders and differences.
