THE COMMISSION FOR ETHIC RIGHTS & PEACE (AIAS, Paris) and the ARARAT INTERNATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES invited Jeanne Ricketts to Geneva in September 2016, to hold a conference on one of her projected “intuitive-series” in context with World-affairs and present her merged holistic family portrait entitled“Our Eldest Brother Iraq & Sister Syria”. —

At the occasion of the Centenary of the Armenian Genocide in September 2015, the same hosts awarded her for "Arts and World Culture" at UNESCO in Paris, for her compelling speech she held at their conference on "Genocide, Art and Peace”. Her words were illustrated by her intuitive drawing “And This Is Iraq”, which she dreamt about in 2008, pre-announcing an “upheaval coming from Africa”, later known as the “Arab Spring”. -

Projection of Jeanne Ricketts' short-film TRAPPED IN FREEDOM onto one of for her earliest murals painted in the vault of St. Louis' Chapel, built in 1646 in the hamlet of La Doire de Séranon, off the famous "Route Napoléon" in Provence, (F). "Heavenly Kingdom, Earthly Kingdom" is the title she gave to her 5x7,70m mural she painted during six months of hermitage in multiple layers of shades of inks, providing the viewer with a sensation of swaying between two parallel realms. The inaugural media coverage of this masterpiece triggered over 60 murals and ca.150 small to large scale art pieces, partially commissioned across Europe, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, the Middle East and the USA.
