The stories that permeate our newsfeeds have become increasingly dark. Abuse, discrimination, oppression, violence and war are global problems that all countries and people face. To shine a light on some of the individuals who stand against injustice and advocate for peace, this project asked artists to create a series of digital stamps featuring portraits of these heroes, one for each sovereign nation. The result is a collection of 198 portraits of peace advocates created by more than 100 artists.
"Peace Post" is a project of Selman, a tight-knit studio of creatives who are committed to creating projects that positively impact our world. Selman was founded by Martinsville native Johnny Selman and is based in Brooklyn, New York.
“Johnny and his team at Selman design are known for the power they deliver with courageous simplicity. In 'Peace Post' they have ingeniously flipped the postage stamp, normally reserved for kings and queens and heads of state, to frame some of the world’s best and least known advocates for democracy, equality and environmental justice.” — Journalist and filmmaker, Ruaridh Arrow
The project is a 2025 Webby Award-winner for Cultural Website and People's Voice. Learn more at peace-post.com.
