Unfortunately I never got to see it. Is there a possibility of coming to Brazil?

I went several weeks ago with my daughter, who was unfamiliar with Yoko's work. I had seen Yoko's show in New York in 2015, but MUCH preferred the one in London. We were there nearly four hours. Every piece was utterly fascinating and there were so many exhibits that the audience could interact with. One gallery invited us to write about our mothers and add our words to a huge wall that was covered with people's feelings about their mothers. We were in tears reading them. We also played the famous white chess set where all the pieces are white and the way to win the game is not to be the person who forgets which pieces on the board are theirs. I lost that game, but also won because we laughed so much while playing it. Every exhibit was thought provoking and I can't imagine anyone visiting that show not coming out understanding Yoko as her importance as an artist in her own right. I hope it will continue to tour when it leaves the Tate Modern because everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy it. What a body of work; unlike any other artist I can think of.

I didnāt get to visit the Music of the Mind show, unfortunately, but a few years ago I was able to see the John & Yoko Double Fantasy exhibition at the Liverpool Museum, which was absolutely fantastic. I have a magnet from the exhibition but my favourite thing is the āyou are hereā badge that is now a permanent fixture on one of my jackets!
Hopefully this link works for some videos from the exhibition!

I was there in July. My photos are too large for this forum. If it travels anywhere near you, it is well worth seeing.
Details of current and upcoming Yoko Ono Events & Exhibitions have just been updated on imaginepeace.com.
EX-IT
Palazzo della Ragione in Padua welcomes Ex It, Yoko Ono's site-specific installation on peace (until 6 Jan 2025) - one hundred wooden coffins of different sizes with olive trees growing from within as a metaphor for the resilience of life and the vitality of nature.
Padua, Palazzo della Ragione welcomes Ex It, Yoko Ono's site-specific installation on peace
Palazzo della Ragione in Padua hosts until January 6, 2025 Ex It, a site-specific installation by Yoko Ono that speaks of peace and narrates life by passing through the tragedy of death.
Yoko: I had the opportunity to visit Padua, Italy. I was taken to an ancient stone palace, built many centuries ago: Palazzo della Ragione, built in 1218. Without giving me any explanation, a man took me up to the second floor. In front of me now opened a huge space, similar to a ballroom. Suddenly, in my vision, I saw many people lined up in a row in the room. What was going on? At that moment, the person who had brought me there explained to me that that was a room where executions were carried out. It was not a ballroom. I saw many, many coffins of men, women and children filling the room. Eventually, trees sprouted from each of the coffins. The trees became a forest. Birds sang all around ... and I began to cry. Thatās how this work was born. It is the memory of every race, every country. It is the memory of genocide: the pain, the horror and the salvation. The dead wanted us to remember, I think. Our tears will help heal the memory.
Baltic turns to Yoko Ono to join in worldwide call for peace
The iconic artist is a headliner in the gallery's upcoming autumn/winter programme.Yoko Ono is making a return to Baltic; not in person, as in 2008 when her work was the subject of a major exhibition at the Gateshead centre for contemporary art, but as an artistic presence. Her IMAGINE PEACE artwork, exhibited as part of that show, is being displayed again as a banner on the outside of the building to mark International Day of Peace on Saturday, September 21. With so much conflict dominating headlines, it can do no harm ā whatever cynics might say - to pay heed to Yokoās plea to āthink peace, spread peace and act peaceā.
Baltic is marking the day with activities aimed at encouraging reflection on peace and unity. Visitors will be invited to add messages to a trio of Yoko-inspired Peace Trees and participate in creative writing workshops. At 6pm on Saturday they will be asked to join in a Moment of Peace, a music-accompanied vigil until sunset.
Baltic director Sarah Munro says: āThe theme of inclusivity and diversity will be at the heart of the events and activities as we underline our commitment to being a Gallery of Sanctuary by marking United Nationās International Day of Peace. āWith the kind permission and blessing of the artist, Yoko Onoās famous artwork banner will once again adorn the building as communities across our region and the world reflect on building a culture of peace.ā The IMAGINE PEACE banner will be displayed until the end of the year.
Meanwhile Baltic has announced its programme for autumn and winter which includes another of its popular play-related interactive shows.
