50 Years of Turning Swords Into Ploughshares
Established in 1976, Project Ploughshares is an independent research institute and advocacy organization committed to peace. Since its inception, Project Ploughshares has greatly contributed to peace and disarmament efforts in Canada and around the world through research programs and advocacy campaigns targeting Nuclear Weapons, Arms Trade, Emerging Technologies and Artificial Intelligence, Space Security, and Climate Security.
50 Years of Turning Swords Into Ploughshares guides Grebel Gallery visitors through a visual timeline of key milestones in Ploughshares history. Come see some of the people and partners, art and archival materials that have contributed to Project Ploughshares' peace and disarmament efforts over the last half century. In an ever-changing global community, Ploughshares' work to promote diplomacy and to centre humanity in policy, is more critical than ever!
The exhibit will be on display until September 30, 2026.
