Roland Poska’s Declarations of Interdependence
“Do you agree to end violence, end prejudice, and achieve respect for all?”
The Declarations of Interdependence is not just art — it’s a living, growing commitment to building a more interconnected world. Created by artist Roland Poska, and activated across the globe by Bob the Peacebuilder, this participatory project invites individuals to publicly sign onto shared values of interdependence.
Unlike most art installations, the public is asked to write directly on the artwork — an act that’s simple, surprising, and powerful. Each individual signature becomes part of a local and global story of belonging and solidarity.
What The Art Does
Builds Human Connections - Signing events and conversations create space for people to meet, share stories, and imagine new possibilities — often with those they might not otherwise encounter.
Practices Democratic Values - The project welcomes every voice and reclaims public space for collective expression. It shows that creativity and dialogue can be tools for community building and change.
Joins You to a Global Movement - Each signature connects to thousands more — part of a living artwork signed in over 90 cities across 16 countries in 5 continents.
The Borderless Series
The Borderless Series is the third complete cycle of the Declarations. With 9 of 15 Declarations already hosted by partners including Stanford University, Refugees International, Charter for Compassion, the Peace Center at Northwest Vista College, the Nobel Peace Prize Conference, University of Pennsylvania, and others — 6 opportunities remain to bring this historic project to your community.
This series celebrates our shared humanity and breaks down fictional borders — between people, cultures, and places — through collective, creative action.
