A global art exhibition has made its way to downtown Dayton in time for the opening of the NATO spring session.
“Think Freedom” is an interactive installation highlighting themes of peace, unity and freedom.
Four hundred metallic birds now hang in the Dayton Arcade’s rotunda, each carrying messages of peace from young people around the world, including the Miami Valley.
“Think Freedom” debuted 10 years ago in Bosnia and has traveled to 26 cities worldwide. But Dayton is its first time on American soil.
“Even more significant is this connection between Bosnia and Dayton and the fact the Dayton has played such a part in creating this peace accord that has kept peace,” said Edina Seleskovic. “I think it’s really incredible for me as somebody who was born in Bosnia and Herzegovina, somebody who came to United States as an exchange student and as somebody who couldn’t go back home because the war started.”
