TWO ROSES FOR PEACE
Symbols of peace in remembrance of all those who lost their lives in the South Atlantic conflict in 1982 and the fallen of all wars.
THE ROSES
Transforming weapons in art: Argentine, British, veterans, relatives of the fallen and citizens from around the world are forging remnants of war to handcraft the bronze roses at the workshop of Master Silversmith Juan Carlos Pallarols.
THE OFFERINGS
Peace roses have been presented in remembrance of the fallen, both military and civilian, at key locations in the South Atlantic Islands including the Argentine Cemetary in Darwin, the British Cemetary in San Carlos and the History Museum in Port Stanley.
BUILDING BRIDGES
Our main objectives are to present the roses in remembrance of all the fallen in war and to distinguish those individuals who, due to their public and humanitarian commitment, advocate for peace.
HUMANITARIAN
DISTINCTIONS
We aim to distinguish those individuals who advocate for peace. Some of the distinguished personalities include the British colonel Geoffrey Cardozo, Argentina veteran Julio Aro, ex-Pink Floyd leader Roger Waters and journalist Gabriela Cociffi, due to their humanitarian commitment and efforts to facilitate the identification process of the unknown Argentina soldiers in Darwin.
MASTER SILVERSMITH
Juan Carlos Pallarols is the President of Two Roses for Peace and has been responsible for forging remnants of the 1982 conflict into the roses for peace at his workshop in San Telmo, Buenos Aires. He has a trajectory of more than 60 years in the art of silversmithing, a trade he inherited from his father and grandfather.
NATIONAL AND CULTURAL INTEREST
Two Roses for Peace has generated interest in diverse forums and communities, carrying out forging ceremonies at the National Argentina Senate and placing remembrance roses at the Imperial War Museum London, the Argentina Federal Police headquarters and the British Hospital in Buenos Aires, amongst others.
Besides the remembrance and diplomacy efforts, a series of roses have been donated to be auctioned to raise valuable funds for charities and social institutions such as the British Hospital, Fundación ASDRA, Fundación MIRAS and Fundación Margarita Barrientos, amongst others.
