Uppsala, May 22nd, 2025
#Gallerix and “The Non Violence Project” are proud to present a unique and long term collaboration aimed at increasing engagement in the fight against #violence. With a shared belief in the power of visual expression, the first step of this partnership is the launch of an exclusive collection of 16 unique posters—each one a tribute to non violence and the important work that The Non Violence Project carries out around the world.

When words become our sharpest weapon. “Non Violence—The Written Word” combines the iconic #Knotted Gun# with one of humanity’s most powerful tools for change: the written word.
“The Non Violence #Project”—Preventing Violence Through Education and Creativity
“The Non Violence Project ”is a global organization that has worked for over three decades to prevent violence through education, inspiration, and artistic initiatives. At the core of the organization’s identity is the world famous Non Violence sculpture, created by Swedish artist Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd. The piece depicts a revolver with a knotted barrel— a universal symbol of peace and non violence. It was created after his friend John Lennon was shot and killed outside his home in 1980 and has since become one of the world’s most recognized #peace symbols. Today, versions of the sculpture are placed in prominent locations around the world, including outside the #UN headquarters in #New #York, in #Berlin, and in #Beijing.
The partnership between Gallerix and The Non Violence Project is multi year and will be launched in several phases, each featuring unique collections. The first phase introduces a core collection, where 20 percent of all sales go directly to The Non Violence Project to support their continued violence prevention education. Through this initiative, we aim to raise awareness, spark meaningful conversations, and remind the world of the power of non violence.
“It feels both meaningful and important to be able to contribute to The Non Violence Project’s work against violence. At Gallerix, we believe that the art on your walls should not only be visually beautiful it should also move you, make you think, and start conversations. Through this collaboration, we want to create space for reflection, empathy, and dialogue. By highlighting Non Violence, we also highlight the conversation about a more peaceful future—while actively supporting education that prevents violence”, Jimmy Håkansson, CEO of Gallerix.
“We are very pleased with the collaboration with Gallerix. By bringing our message of non violence into everyday spaces homes and workplaces÷we reach more people with what we are passionate about: inspiring and empowering children and youth to handle conflict in peaceful ways. Together, we create visibility and engagement for an important cause”, Maria Norberg, Head of Communication and Partnership, “The Non Violence Project”. More …
