Did you ever hear of a peace message taking over Times Square? Right here in London, we encounter Imagine Peace, Yoko Ono’s powerful artwork. Imagine Peace isn’t a statue or a painting. It’s a concept, a message broadcast on digital screens across the globe. In March 2022, Imagine Peace paused commercial advertisements on Piccadilly Lights. Every evening at 8:22 pm, Ono’s message illuminated the iconic screen. This wasn’t just in London. Imagine Peace graced screens in Los Angeles, Milan, Melbourne, New York, Seoul, and Tokyo. The project, a collaboration between CIRCA and Serpentine, displayed local translations of “Imagine Peace.” This marked Ono’s return to Piccadilly Circus, twenty years after her “Imagine all the people living life in peace” poster in 2002. Imagine Peace builds upon Yoko Ono and John Lennon’s legacy of peace activism. Their 1969 Bed-In for peace served as an inspiration. Ono views imagining peace as a universal act, regardless of differing opinions on achieving it. The Imagine Peace Tower in Iceland stands as another testament to this vision. A limited edition print by Yoko Ono was sold, with all proceeds benefiting the UN Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF). So, as you stand before the location where Imagine Peace was displayed, remember the power of art to convey a universal message. A message of peace that transcends borders and languages, reminding us all to imagine a world free of conflict.
