LET'S CELEBRATE 365 is an exhibition that addresses the issues of international community cohesion by drawing upon the panoply of traditions, faiths and celebrations of our world through the power of impactful photographs. One of the strengths of this country is its diversity. So this exhibition illustrates the DNA of our communities, and provides the opportunity for the visitor not only to respect the differences of our ethnic minorities but also to walk through these faiths and beliefs - and to better understand the extraordinarily different cultures and beliefs practised.
To understand the great faiths of the world you need a window into the soul. Festivals and Celebrations have always been just that: an opportunity for entering into a world of myth and legend, drama and music, colour and noise. In our increasingly complex and sacred home planet, the significance of faith as one of our motivating forces in contemporary life - for good or bad - has become only too apparent. However, this exhibition of LET'S CELEBRATE 365 is of much greater importance. It not only helps us enter into a world of different cultures and beliefs. It also makes us realise we inhabit diverse worlds of faith and culture - where the linking commonality is the incredible power of belief.
LET'S CELEBRATE 365 therefore is nothing less than an exploration of the amazing variety of the entire multi-cultural Landscape of the World. The photographic images in it are the result of more than three decades of my travels to 60 countries across 5 continents to share in festivals, ceremonies and rituals that have remained unchanged for centuries - and in some cases thousands of years.
Many of the images in this website form part of the Exhibition.
