PROLOGUE

QUOTE from the Letter of support of INTERNATIONAL PEACE BUREAU - IPB to WORLD ART GAMES - WAG (former CULTURE OLYMPICS)

" The International Peace Bureau ( IPB ) hereby would like to congratulate the Association "Culture Olympics" from Croatia, on its initiative to organize the Culture Olympiad ......... Creating a forum where artists from different disciplines can meet, provides opportunities both for strengthening a group of country`s own culture and for learning to appreciate and build respect for the cultural and artistic expressions of others. Friendship may take roots where formerly there was lack of knowledge, distrust and even enmity ........ The International Peace Bureau supports your initiative and wishes you all success in the preparation and running of the Culture Olympics, thereby strengthening the creative forces so needed for the world to become a more just and peaceful place ....... We would be glad to be kept informed of the development of this project."

SIGNED by Co-President Secretary General INGEBORG BREINES and COLIN ARCHER (Geneva, Switzerland, December 5th 2010)

IPB, THE WORLDS OLDEST EXISTING INTERNATIONAL PEACE ORGANIZATION, NOBEL PEACE PRIZE LAUREAT, 1910

From the article “Announcement Mexico's participation in World Art Games“, released by the Ministry of Culture - Mexico on the Government website “gob.mx”: The first edition of this meeting will be held in Croatia from June 29 to July 10 with the participation of a Mexican delegation composed of 20 artists. In the José Luis Cuevas Museum, accompanied by Matilde Roca, director of selection of the Mexican delegation, Alejandro de Anda, head of delegation, announced details of Mexico's participation in the World Art Games. He said that this meeting's main mission is to show Art as a tool of peace and tolerance. "It is important to mention that more than 600 applications were received to integrate our selection of Mexican creators whose works are of the highest quality. " He mentioned that the delegation's trip has been supported by specialists such as the painter José Luis Cuevas, as well as Carlos González, Gabriela Arouesty, Leticia de Anda, Alberto Ortega Ruiz and Agnese Sartori. The independent artists who will travel to Croatia are Idelfonso López Mendoza, Antonio Marcial, Mafer Suárez, Norman Bardavid, Cristina Arnedo, Ingrid Rosas, Margarita Guadaña, Beatriz Eugenia Hernández, Alicia G. De Miner, Guadalupe Corvacho, Irma Obregón, Mayoli Bruguera And Daniel Domínguez Roca. "There is much to show of our country and that is before our eyes every day, that is why it is a real pride to participate in this meeting that is a world movement for peace." During the conference, a message was recorded by the painter José Luis Cuevas in which he regrets not being able to attend Croatia for health reasons. "Croatia is one of the most beautiful countries in the world and I am sure that the talent of our artists will be one of the most important presences in this meeting," said José Luis Cuevas. Matilde Roca said that José Luis Cuevas, who supports the presence of this delegation, is still one of the most important artists of our nation, which is why he will offer a conference in Croatia to publicize his work among the public of that country. "His great legacy and his commitment to art undoubtedly is linked to the purpose of this meeting that abanders peace and tolerance, so it will be a pride to talk about his work and give a context on the great legacy he has created for our nation".

2016, June 16th NEW ZEALAND, “The Dominion Post” Article, by Simon Edwards: “Kiwi World Art Games delegates give artists a taste of Maori culture” “There are artists from nations including Finland, Azerbaijan, Serbia and Mexico who now know how to make and swing a poi. Jules Hunt and Carrie Burke from the Hutt Valley, and Lisa Wilkins-Pirika from Canterbury, formed the Kiwi contingent to the third World Art Games, held in Montenegro last month. As their contribution to the Games' education outreach, in which artists are challenged to reach out to schools in their country, the New Zealanders ran a workshop for other delegates on how to make a proper braided poi, and to use it with a Maori action song/waiata. Wilkins-Pirika had spend a day with a kapa haka class at Tai Tapu School to brush up on the skills needed For Burke, the poi workshop and the links forged with people in other countries, sum up what the biennial World Art Games and annual conference are about. "Yes, we are all artists celebrating arts in the broadest sense. But it's actually about people getting together to learn about each others' culture...what makes us different but more importantly what makes us the same." (fragments from the Article)

2015, September 25th NEW ZEALAND, “The Press” Article, by Charlie Gates: “Canterbury artist sees the world through her father's eyes and wins gold” Canterbury artist Lisa Wilkins-Pirika wanted to show her late father the World Art Games in Slovakia, so she made his glass eye into a bracelet and wore it for the whole trip. The Birdlings Flat woman was glad her father was watching when she won a gold medal for her paintings at the World Art Games, a gathering held every two years with work from artists across the world. Wilkins-Pirika, who describes herself as a contemporary Maori artist, won the gold medal for two paintings. "It was like a big validation of a lifetime's work. "Winning the World Art Games was the culmination of a long process of struggling through. My dad had just died. I had been looking after him and struggling through." She went as part of a team of artists representing New Zealand at the World Art Games, which were established in 2013 with an aim of fostering peace through art. "It has been a real community effort. They have backed me and I have been able to bring them a result." She said her father would have been proud of her gold medal. "He used to tell people that we were the All Blacks of art. He would have been so proud of the gold medal." (fragments from the Article)

Too utopian to be true? But World Art Games, popularly known as WAG, is an oasis for art practitioners, traversing genres and mediums, where all creative people can mix and mingle, exchanging ideas and promoting peace while using the language of art. WAG is now represented in 40 countries through its national committees, who meet annually to discuss and plan future programmes and undertake activities that in the best spirit of the Olympic Games celebrate the joy of togetherness through competition. Like the Olympics WAG will be held in different countries and these countries must win the right to stage WAG through bids to host a ten-day bi-annual event.

Bangladeshi artist Laila Sharmeen works on her street painting.

Held in the Croatian cities of Ludbreg, Vukovar and Umag, the first World Art Games hosted over 200 artists, musicians and performers from more than 40 different

Page 146

countries including Bangladesh. With Colombia, Argentina and Mexico together fielding 38 artists, Latin America dominated the games events. Laila Sharmeen decorated her street painting at the Open University of Umag with traditional Bengali motifs of flower, fish and bird and Bangla alphabets to evoke the quintessential colours of Bengal and also pay tribute to Bangladesh’s language movement. She drew the basic design for the 40 feet painting, explained the colour scheme to artists from India, the USA, Colombia, Finland, Netherlands, and Croatia and then invited them to apply paint on the work. She also engaged people from local community and tourists visiting Umag to turn her project into a collaborative-community painting. The scene of the street painting was carnivalesque, especially because of the Pokko Cherri Band from Malaysia that played foot tapping numbers.

Colombian artist Sergio Jiminez performing “Second Skin”

Sergio’s next move was to create ‘Second Skin’ with Colombian Fashion designer Andrea Castro at Castle Betthyany. He orchestrated his moves on this occasion with the tempo of the music and the catwalk of the models. He approached the audience in a series of movements and had them draw lines on his body with markers. The idea was to get him drawn by people from different culture and society.

Mount Emei is the highest of China's four holy Buddhist mountains. The name "Emei" literally means "delicate eyebrow". This name is derived from two of the mountain's peaks, Wanfo (Ten Thousand Buddha) Summit and Golden Summit, which face each other and resemble the delicate eyebrows of a Chinese beauty After the spread of Buddhism during the Tang and Song dynasties, many Buddhist temples were built here. There used to be more than 100 temples and shrines on the mountain, but only about 30 still stand today. A legend claims that the mountain was where Samantabhadra gave lectures on Buddhism and most temples house a statue of him. Mount Emei is home to a number of scenic and religious spots including: Baoguo Temple, Wannian Temple, Fohu Temple, Qingyin Pavilion, Heilongjiang Tunnel, Hongchun Platform, Xianfeng Temple (Jiulao Cave), Xixiang Pond, and Golden Summit.

Croatian Ambassador to Malaysia stunning with buskers performances at event of Malaysian Youth Buskers Club/World Art Games Malaysia@MYBC/WAG Malaysia yesterday. He invited Mr. Wady (President of Malaysian Youth Buskers Club MYBC/Vice President WAGM) to bring over artists of Malaysian Youth Buskers Club to his embassy to have some performances. It is a great move for MYBC@WAGM since the best MYBC artists are the chosen one for slot at the 1st World Art Games Croatian 2013 event. I personally praise Mr. Wady for commitments given from his side and members of MYBC Buskers. Definitely a performance invitation 'tailored made' to MYBC from Croatian Embassy will surge an urgent call to Malaysian 'Round Table Authorities' on the milestones achieved by these maiden MYBC (established Sept 12') and WAGM (established 22nd March 13'). Thanks to his excellency Mr. Zeljko Bosnjak (Malaysian Croatian's Ambassador) for the spontaneous sparks triggered that will created substantial landmark for both MYBC and WAGM.

The summary of the discussion was compiled in a Brainstorming Report, drafted by an editorial team appointed by the group of participants itself during the meeting. The Brainstorming Report was finalized remotely in collaboration with the whole group between the Brainstorming Session and the Dialogue Meeting. About Theme: In its current Work Plan for Culture (2015-2018), the Council of the European Union continues to prioritize European work on intercultural dialogue. This is an ongoing political commitment in follow-up to the 2007 European Agenda for Culture, where intercultural dialogue was a key theme, the 2008 European Year of Intercultural Dialogue, and the 2014 Report on the Role of Public Arts and Cultural Institutions in the Promotion of Cultural Diversity and Intercultural Dialogue, produced by

Page 287

Member States’ experts under the Open Method of Coordination (OMC). The European Parliament is currently preparing its own report on intercultural dialogue, led by Julie Ward MEP, for adoption in early 2016. The 2014 OMC report included many informative examples of good practice, and the following recommendations to cultural institutions:      

declare commitment [to diversity and dialogue, preferably through an explicit strategy] program quality art for all [rather than “add-on” activities for target groups] take into consideration non-users [through contacts with communities and NGO`s] act locally (including with community “ambassadors”) focus efforts to reach new audiences on the young [including through new technologies] think outside the box, act outside the walls [to reach people who do not intercultural institutions]

Two years on, as part of renewed structured dialogue on culture with civil society, European Commission wanted to hear more about intercultural dialogue from civil society organizations - in arts and culture and beyond, including NGO`s representing minority groups.

WAG PROJECTS IN DEVELOPMENT WAG CHILDREN PROJECT

WAG CHILDREN PROJECT is launched to create, synchronize and manage cultural activities for the benefit of children and young people, thus future society. Children will have possibility to learn more about different societies, different states, different cultures, through exchanges of art works and exhibitions, through the videos and texts; through joint work on different projects. National Committees are invited to include Schools from their countries in artistic creative activities. All schools and children will be connected through WAG international projects and exchanges of works. Our intention is to establish a framework of tolerance and acceptance of diversity and differences within young generations. Special accent is on need to be sensible on the needs of societies, so National Committees have to act through the art and creativity to help children to learn better ways to solve problems and avoid pitfalls (ex. Projects against school dropout, against poverty, against hunger, against addictions) Many national and international projects have been held, are in the process and in plans.
