Art can promote peace process: Governor

By Our Special Correspondent

BANGALORE, FEB. 19. The Governor, T.N. Chaturvedi, has said that art and culture ambassadors have the potency to promote peace process between countries.

After visiting Art For Peace, a photo exhibition by the Photographic Art Society of Pakistan at the Venkatappa Art Gallery, the Governor said: "Whether it be cricket or music, it brings joy for us. Art acts as a cementing force and conditions the psyche of the people. In turn, it will be a confidence building measure. Such cultural ambassadors have the potency to narrow the differences between leaders and nations. Their action supplements peace process and peace talks."
