Birdprayers (2007-now) is a response, in collaboration with Indonesian artist Arya Pandjalu, to the contentious issue of religious conflict. Believing that art in public space is one of the most effective means of deconstructing stereotypes, and creating an awareness of diversity and differences. An individual’s perspective is closely related to personal values and judgments, but also to the feeling of safety and comfort in one's own environment. Birdprayers attempts to address the relativity of these feelings and people’s sometimes rigid adherence to them. It is an interdisciplinary, intercultural and ongoing art project, which, to strengthen its power to achieve its goals, will be constructed around the world in versions specific to the locale. Each edition of Birdprayers is accompanied by the video performance "All in the Mind", and includes a combination of installations, sculptures, drawings, paintings, prints, readings, discussions and other forms of communication, sometimes in collaboration with other artists.

Birdprayers has its own website: www.birdprayers.net
