und der Kommentar zu Schwerter zu Pflugscharen:
Another mural is “Children Dream of Peace”, with the small panel showing the devastation of war, and the larger panel showing the transformation of swords into plowshares.
Usually these murals have dozens of people walking in front of them, looking at them.
Tanguma says that as a young man he was very angry, but found a way in painting murals to transform anger and bitterness. Nowadays he does mural painting in schools and communities, and always involves others to help in the painting, so that it becomes a collective vision.
