A “conscientious objector” during a period of societal and political crisis throughout the world, John Lennon, along with his muse and alter ego Yoko Ono, sang a message of hope and tolerance that sought the transformation of violence into peace, and hate and racism into love. Today, the work they carried out together has not lost any of its resonance. This exhibition invites you to explore all the facets of the musical, artistic and political collaboration whose works so closely reflected the spirit of their time yet still speak to us today. Although Yoko Ono’s loan of these exceptional works has allowed this look at a chapter of history to be put together, the past. Indeed, this avant-garde artist of Japanese origin associated with the Fluxus and conceptual art movements has never ceased to promote peace in her works. This exhibition will retrace the story of these two major figures, from their meeting in 1966 to their first creations promoting peace, which culminated in the May 1969 Bed-in. It will examine the legacy of such anthemic songs as 1971’s “Imagine” and “Power to the People,” or such albums as 1972’s politically engaged Some Time in New York City.
