Is the way we explore, understand, celebrate the world. Dove Tales, the Association of Artists for Peace, is a charity born of that need to understand and deal with the unstable world we live in, a world where:

  • Posturing leaders like Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un can play Russian roulette with our lives by brandishing their nuclear weapons at each other 

  • $1690 BILLION goes annually on military spending and only $28 billion on humanitarian aid

  • 22 people enjoying a concert in Manchester died because a young man was swayed by listening to words of hate, not of love.

​

Now Scottish writers, musicians, painters, performers, dancers, film-makers, artists of all kinds, are joining together to try and bridge the gaps between people and to ask hard questions of those in our society who try to make money from other people's misery.

 

You don't have to practise the arts to join us, simply to enjoy them.
 

Dove Tales is a member driven organisation. We aim to be completely transparent in our operation and to involve our members in all our campaigning work and events.

OUR PROJECT ON GAZA IS NOW ONLINE

Poets, artists, musicians and photographers have contributed to our project on Gaza.

​

Dove Tales deplores the actions of Hamas on 7th October, but we condemn the Israeli government's subsequent mass attacks on the Palestinians of Gaza and agree with the International Criminal Court that they amount to war crimes.

​

As British diplomat Mark Smith said in his resignation letter, It is with sadness that I resign after a long career in the diplomatic service, however I can no longer carry out my duties in the knowledge that this Department may be complicit in war crimes.

​

Britain must stop sending arms to Israel, stop fuelling this senseless war.

Our task as [humans] is to find the few principles that will calm the infinite anguish of free souls. We must mend what has been torn apart, make justice imaginable again in a world so obviously unjust, give happiness a meaning once more to peoples poisoned by the misery of the century.
