The Peace Art Project of Cambodia or PAPC, is currently showing their collective effort to bring about world peace. The objective is to “destroy” guns in the most beautiful way possible, by turning them into works of furniture art. I don’t know about you, but I’m a little skittish about having several revolvers pointing at my boxa-boxa while I sit, even if it is art. It looks more like interrogation furniture to me, uncomfortable and liable to go off if you don’t hand over the microfilm.  After more than 30 years of civil war, ending in 1998, the Cambodian gouvernment destroyed 125,000 weapons across the country.In this time Neil Wilford, a small arms specialist with the European Union, and British artist Sasha Constable, saw an opportunity, and decided to create The Peace Art Project Cambodia (PAPC) in November 2003. The Peace Art Project Cambodia was a sculpture project turning weapons into art as expressions of peace.
