World Peace Party

Founders Carl Mason and Jesse Stagg teamed up to start UFO (an acronym for Unlimited Freak Out or Unity of People, Freedom of Expression, Original Ideas).

The mural was painted in a Mayan inspired hip hop cartoon wild style and incorporated Amiga custom computer animations promoting positive affirmations and distinctive UFO branding.

The World Peace Party featured an inside and outside area complete with the soon to be ubiquitous fun park of inflatable castles, human gyroscopes and vendors serving fast foods and miscellany.

UFO comprised in part: Nik Jevons, Brendan Smithers, Roger Young, Raymond and Andrew Mpolokeng, Nicole Abel, Toni Dorfman, Edward Petersen, Shukrie Joel among others.
