IDEAS FOR THE MURAL

Marziyeh Ozark

hi i am marziyeh, my idea is to make aliyeh

collage of our common intersts like music , sports, etc and also the collage would contain artwork from japanese and pakistani students, with the border being hand prints in red and green , the colour's representing each country's flag

Sarah Khan

We could utilize some of the flowers that japan associates itself with, maybe we can make a border with either the chrysanthemum or the cherry blossom. Are we making the Japanese side or our own? If the Japanese side, we can use these flowers, and if our own then jasmine. :) maybe we can show they're flag in the background and add some cranes, to show the Hiroshima incident.

My idea for peace is that we should use football as a symbol of spreading friendship and peace since almost the entire world plays, and loves it. I am sure some of the Japanese students must be fans of Football in Japan, I like Chelsea.

Haider Abbas

About my idea i was thinkig of making hands with a releasing dove which symbolises harmony. I have also searched on how to write the word peace in japanese language but have to confirm it from those sudents...another idea which came to my mind was to make japanese geisha which you must have seen, are the traditional outfit of japanese...These are some ideas and im thinking of others to.

Anum Hamid

Actually i think we can draw a person and divide it from the center half of it can be Pakistani and half of it Japanese.Also we can show a dove in the persons hand,and the background could be both countries flag or combination of the cresent and the red circle (which represents the sun).

INTRODUCTION

Salam !! My name is Nosheen Malik I work as the coordinator for this exchange and I have made this blog. I would be adding all the photos and text in this blog. It is indeed a pleasure to be a part of this mural exchange.



Funkor Childart Center has already been a part of exchange with Japan. Mrs. Fauzia Minallah's book 'Sadako's Prayer has been translated in Japanese too by the Asian Network of Trust, Hiroshima. I have uploaded two newspaper articles which featured her work. I hope you enjoy reading them in Japanese.





















Two students who are a part of the exchange Sarah Khan and Zehra Khan made this beautiful mural in 2005 for the 60th commemoration of the bombing of Hiroshima. It features the children's monument of peace. It depicts not only Pakistani child but from different countries too.In this photograph Sarah and Zehra are very young they are different now as you can see in their photographs below.
