NEW YORK (September 21st, 2025)
INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE
The UN will be hosting its International Day of Peace both globally and locally in New York City. Seeing that the theme is about global collaboration, fostering lasting change, and preventing conflict, we believe the Balanced Forces exhibition can be a vehicle for bringing creators from across the globe together in a shared expression of our challenges through the medium of augmented reality, geo-tethered to the streets of NYC.
