Yoko Ono Installs Imagine Peace in Dallas in Response to Police Shootings

Yoko Ono‘s Imagine Peace is a 2001 artwork inspired by John Lennon’s “Imagine”—a banner that simply reads “Imagine Peace.” Ono has revived the piece for a new work called Imagine Peace Forever, which has been installed at the Dallas Museum of Art in response to the recent incident where five police officers were killed in downtown Dallas. The banner reads “Imagine Peace Forever” in both English and Spanish, and will be displayed at the museum’s Ross Avenue Plaza through August 22. “The Dallas Museum of Art hopes to inspire individual empowerment, as Ono profoundly believes we all have the power to create positive difference in the world,” the museum said in a statement. Below, watch a video of the banner being installed.
