Our iconic symbol, the Knotted Gun, was created by renowned Swedish artist Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd in 1980. The sculpture, depicting a revolver with its barrel tied in a knot, was a response to the tragic assassination of John Lennon. Reuterswärd's intent was to symbolize the futility of violence and the power of peace. The Knotted Gun has since become a global symbol for the Non-Violence Project, representing our commitment to educating the world on peaceful conflict resolution.
With our 30-year legacy, innovative methods, and a growing community of change advocates like you, we are actively shaping a more peaceful and non-violent world.
