The Peace Poem
A 14ft illuminated Peace Poem by Robert Montgomery, commemorating 100 years since WWI's first day of peace.
The Peace Poem is a large-scale illuminated artwork created in collaboration with artist and poet Robert Montgomery. Standing over three metres high, its glowing words travel on a custom-built trailer, sharing messages of hope, freedom and humanity through light and language.
Originally commissioned to mark 100 years since the first day of peace after WWI, The Peace Poem has since toured the UK as a mobile monument and static installation. It has featured in national campaigns including Coventry City of Culture 2021 and #HumansOfCov, inspiring reflection and conversation in every place it visits. The structure can operate as a touring spectacle, a static centrepiece or a powerful backdrop to civic, cultural and commemorative events. Its scale, simplicity and poetic resonance create a striking moment of calm connection within any light trail, festival or public celebration.
