Abstract
While war memorials and monuments are generally easily recognized, peace art and spaces dedicated to peace are not. This is often because we both define and remember “peace” in ambiguous and sometimes contradictory ways. This article discusses the International Peace Garden (Manitoba/North Dakota) and Bangor City Park (Bangor, Wisconsin). Both are dedicated to “peace,” but reveal the complicated ways our understandings of peace shape our surroundings.
