The mosaic has been mounted in the foyer of the National Cultural Centre and will be officially unveiled tomorrow.

Members of the public, particularly those persons who wrote messages of peace and harmony on the mosaic, are welcome to attend. The Mosaic will be unveiled by two students, one from Buxton and one from Annandale, the villages most affected by racial violence in 2003.

The Mosaic came to life in a derelict building at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation. The 'Mosaic of Peace and Racial Harmony' consists of a watermark background of the Guyana flag on which is super-imposed 'One Culture, We Culture'. A group of medical student ROCers spent hours of their time patiently cutting, measuring, painting and numbering over a thousand of the jigsaw-type pieces of coloured paper that eventually made up the mosaic. The letters and the border were left blank.

The inter-active dimension of the mural was launched at Ethnic Vibrations II concert and fair on November 22, 2003. This involved inviting members of the public to write messages of peace, love and racial harmony on the coloured pieces and carefully paste them in the appropriate place on the mural. President Bharrat Jagdeo was among those who attached their message of racial unity and cultural diversity.

After Ethnic Vibrations other ROCers took the unfinished panels onto the streets to complete the inter-active messages.
