The stories that permeate our newsfeed have become increasingly dark lately. Abuse, discrimination, oppression, violence, and war are global problems that all countries and people face. In an effort to shine a light on some of the individuals who stand against injustice and advocate for peace, we decided to create a series of digital stamps featuring portraits of these heroes, one for each sovereign nation.

A collection of 198 portraits of peace advocates by over 100 artists.

“Johnny and his team at Selman design are known for the power they deliver with courageous simplicity. In Peace Post they have ingeniously flipped the postage stamp, normally reserved for Kings and Queens and heads of state to frame some of the world’s best and least known advocates for democracy, equality and environmental justice.”

The Exhibit
This year Peace Post was invited to exhibit at the International Museum of Peace in Dayton, Ohio. As the only peace museum in the United States, it was a natural fit. The exhibit timeline, from September 6 to November 2, 2024, encompasses significant dates such as the International Day of Peace on September 21, World Peace Day on September 26, and the Nobel Peace Prize announcement in mid-October.
Activism-focused venues, community spaces, cultural institutions, and libraries are invited to display the exhibit. Interested organizations can contact peace@selman.nyc.
