Yoko Ono awarded the Russian punk band Pussy Riot this year’s LennonOno grant for peace. The artist – the widow of Beatles musician John Lennon – will screen the words ”Imagine Peace” intermittently throughout the day on three huge screens around the iconic square, the message, which sums up the lyrics of John’s 1971 song ‘Imagine’, will be translated into 24 languages. The LennonOno Grant for Peace is given every two years to honour Yoko Ono’s late husband John Lennon’s dedication to peace and human rights.
