Summary

When discussing the peace concept in light of the COVID-19 crisis, we were drawn to one of its most simple manifestations: stillness. While some forms of peace are dependent upon societal structures, stillness is a mode of being we each have access to and ownership over. In our reflections, we were inspired by our rediscovered and recontextualized relationships with nature Ñ the untempered purity of nature at Mt. Tremper and the hauntingly beautiful quietude of New York City under quarantine. by ARKAI, Musical Arts, USA / New York, NY, Day 12 / July 15.
