Yoko Ono is calling for peace and love across the world. The 82-year-old artist is using her work to spread the word against violence as she brings her participative-performance exhibit "Tierra de Esperanza" or "Land of Hope" to Mexico City.

According to a report from Fox News Latino, Ono attended the opening of the exhibit at the Museum of Memory and Tolerance telling the crowd, "I have come here to bring world peace."

The collaborative nature of the exhibit is in full display throughout the whole show with the tourists given the freedom to put stamps for peace on maps of the country or the world. One part of the "Land of Hope" urges visitors to put broken plates back together, while another showcases a white telephone in a labyrinth. There are also certain displays that train the spotlight on women and the effects of violence against them.

Ono's latest exhibit is in response to the constant violence in Mexico. The Fox News Latino report revealed that the country has seen over 100,000 people dead or missing due to drug-related violence in the past 10 years.

In an interview with the Economist in relation to a retrospective of her work "Yoko Ono Lumière de l'aube" (Light of dawn), the artist addressed the question of bringing her message of light and peace beyond like-minded individuals.

"Light will hit us all," Ono explained. "Some already are in the light. The rest of the human race will be in the light a bit slower. That's alright."

Although the famous artist will turn 83 years old in a few weeks time, her career is still moving forward at full force. During her birthday on Feb. 17, Ono is slated to receive the Inspiration Award at the NME Awards in Austin, Texas, according to a report from Music Week.

NME's editor-in-chief Mike Williams praised the artist's significance in the industry through the decades in an official statement from Music Week.

"Yoko Ono's influence on modern culture is undeniable," Williams said. "As an icon and a rebel, her revolutionary ideas and concepts have subverted cultural norms and boundaries, and she shows no sign of slowing down even as she turns 83. Yoko is a truly amazing inspiration who we're honoured to welcome to the NME Awards with Austin, Texas this year."

In a statement of her own, Ono expressed her appreciation at the recognition saying, "Thank you, NME for this great honour. I accept this as your encouragement for me to keep making my 'Sound of Music' I love you!"
