To celebrate the 75th birthday of John,Yoko Ono is inviting
the general public once again to give peace a chance: in the form of a
giant, human peace sign in New York's Central Park.
Having
recently concluded the run of her solo exhibition at the Museum of
Modern Art, Ono is taking on as her next major project an attempt to
create the world's largest human peace sign on Oct. 6, three days before
the date that would have been the late former Beatle's 75th birthday.
Organizers announced Friday that the general public is invited to
participate in the event on the East Meadow of Central Park in New York.
The gathering is scheduled to take place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., near
the park entrance on 99th Street and 5th Avenue.
Participants are required to register online,
but the event is free and open to all ages. The event, titled "Imagine
Peace," is organized by the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus, a
traveling, nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing hands-on music
education to students.
On Friday, Ono officially brought the Tour Bus to New York to
commemorate her late husband's birthday in a public event attended by
local officials. She was joined by former "Spider-Man: Turn off the
Dark" actor Reeve Carney, who performed numbers including "Imagine," for
a gathering of schoolchildren.
