PAX has organised several visual arts events:
1. Artist-in-residence program
Date 1-15th July 2008
35 Collaborative artists from UK, Ireland, China, Australia, Peru, Morocco, USA, Tunisia, Palestine, Jordan, Syria, Egypt, Iraq have taken part in this programme
Objective - Create the first building blocks of the Womb art installation
Output 50 m2 of artworks created on perspex
Theme DNA, the code of life
The artists have been asked to use the building blocks of life- DNA. The DNA code GATC is used to create a personal message. We all share this DNA code. Although we are all different, we all share the basic building blocks of humanity; this universal language, this translingual form. Art is also translingual and transcultural.

2. Oceans apart Group exhibition, Liverpool July 2008
A Group exhibition entitled 'Oceans apart' have taken place from 1- 15th July at The International Gallery and Tito's with the participation of PAX collaborative Circle.
3. Art of Trauma and Peace Exhibition, London, Jan - Feb 2009
The Art of Trauma and Peace exhibition is taking place in the Courtyard Gallery, Hoxton Square - It 's drawing together for the first time, 25 artists from 7 countries with works created between 78 and 08 to explore the trauma of loss in all its aspects and the transition to peace. This process has to be one of healing, the real ‘witnessing presence’ created in The Art of Trauma and Peace’ by the varying artists, brings home the intensity of this process, allowing all involved to better understand and appreciate the damage to the internal ‘other’, the absence, and confusion, that occurs in the traumatic experience, as well as the hopefully resulting reaction towards peace. Indirect, unaestheticised and dialogic in nature, ‘the art of trauma and peace’.
