Balanced Forces: NYC – International Peace Day, Sept 21, 2025

An Invitation to Augment Your Reality and Inspire Peace

There are moments in history when art is not a luxury — it’s a lifeline.

Right now, the world feels fractured. Borders and barriers define our movements. Voices are silenced by circumstance. In these moments, creativity becomes a powerful form of resistance, hope, and connection.

And there is no better place for this convergence than New York City — the concrete jungle, reimagined. On International Peace Day, while the world’s attention turns to dialogue and diplomacy, Balanced Forces will transform the city’s public spaces into portals.

Through augmented reality, your art will rise in parks, streets, and plazas — not as a static image, but as a living work that invites reflection, interaction, and peace.

An Open Call With Purpose

We invite:

-Artists of any medium — digital, physical, experimental, or hybrid
-Creators without access to traditional exhibition spaces
-Individuals facing displacement, conflict, censorship, or systemic exclusion
-Emerging voices and established practitioners alike

We provide the platform. You provide the vision.

Submissions will be reviewed for the strength of story and perspective behind the work.

Why This Matters: The Power of AR in Times of Division

AR is more than technology — it’s a metaphor.

It allows what is intangible to become present.

What is far away to feel close.

By layering digital works into physical spaces, we bridge the gap between here and there, you and us, your reality and ours. In this shared, augmented space, separation begins to dissolve.
