Peace in 10,000 Hands: The First Collection by Stuart Robertson

The First Collection is the first in a planned series of books from the internationally renowned photographic artist, Stuart Robertson, from his global art project, Peace in 10,000 Hands, that’s creating a visual provocation to challenge and reinvigorate the conversation for peace.

The book features 180 pages of emotive, thought-provoking, beautiful, and, at times, confronting full-colour photographs, together with quotes, stories and glimpses into the artist’s life, his inspiration and subjects taken from the first two years of this global art project.

At the core of the project is a single white rose held in the hands of 10,000 people from every country and every walk of life. Through this, Robertson explores the idea of mankind’s global interconnectedness and probes into the emotional repositories of our individual belief systems about peace and quietly sets adrift a deep question about the human experience.

Artworks from throughout the project are being donated 100% to various charities focused on furthering peace through children’s education, safety and wellbeing.
