Established on occasion of the terror attacks in Paris on 13 November 2015, the memorial project is dedicated to all victims of islamist terror. Many attacks were taking place before that date, and most recently, Brussels had been the place where again dozens of innocent people became victims of islamists. Like previous attacks, the attacks in Brussels on 22 March 2016 were addressed to the civilized world, as such, and its values.
The participatory project initiated and curated by Wilfried Agricola de Cologne, media artist and curator from Cologne/Germany, is inviting artists all over the world and their friends to show emapthy and solidarity with the victims of these terror attacks and the survivors, by participating and contributing.
This memorial for the victims of terror, however, is not restricted only to this latest terror attack, but is dedicated to all victims by islamist terror, starting before the 9/11 attacks in New York and Washington 2001. Noone will be forgotten!

Inappropriate contribhutions, however, will be excluded without giving any reason. Attachments have to be send via WETRANSFER – www.wetransfer.com
