    Sedona AZ (January 21, 2014) – Make a mask of your face that represents your vision of peace! February 3rd, 9AM- 12PM at Yavapai College’s, Sedona Center for Arts and Technology, mask maker and expressive performance artist, Pash Galbavy invites participants to a make a peace mask as part of UN declared, International Interfaith Harmony Week. A demonstration of Galbavy’s fast and easy mask making technique can be seen on the Videos page of www.unmaskit.com. 

    The history of masks dates back millennium. Traditionally they are thought to embody the spirit of the characters they represent. In this workshop, participants will make a mask of their own face, to represent what peace means to them. The mask can then be decorated to become a personal peace totem. 

    20140121_pashGalbavy is creator of Face Up to Peace (www.faceuptopeace.com) a mask making project to raise awareness for the development of world wide departments of peace. (http://www.dopcampaign.org) A long-time Sedona resident, Galbavy has made masks with people in the larger Sedona community for over 15 years. In 2003, she invited participants to make masks for the Peace Prayers Project. These life-sized figures were made in response to the Iraq war and represented people’s vision of peace. The figures were exhibited at Goldenstein Gallery. 

    Galbavy says of her workshops: “No experience is required to make a mask. Some people are intimidated by the idea of making something ‘artistic.’ But my passion is expressive art that focuses on meaning over aesthetics. I tell new mask makers that they can do no wrong whatever form their creation takes.”

    Galbavy has a Masters of Communication and over 20 years experience working with groups. The mask making experience will be imbued with the values and attitudes of the Person-Centered Approach. There will be no expectation or agenda other than self-and-mask discovery with an emphasis on conditions of positive regard, empathy, and genuineness. Galbavy says: “This is not just about producing something. Interacting, listening, witnessing, and accepting others are all parts of the peace we will practice and co-create together.”

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
