== The Art of Peacemaking: The Gun Sculpture ==
Bromley and collaborator Wallis Kendal co-created ''The Gun Sculpture'', a five-tonne sculpture that was unveiled in Edmonton in early 2000. It was a vision of the iHuman 2000 Peace Initiative and took two years to build. The Canadian Millennium Bureau and the UN Department for Disarmament Affairs provided funding, as well as private donations.〔 Composed of 7,000 deactivated weapons such as landmines, machine-guns and knives donated to the artists by Canadian and international sources,〔 the walk-in structure resembles a prison cell.〔 The sculpture is paired with multimedia components depicting victims of war, and crimes of violence like domestic abuse.〔 As described by a UN report on small arms, the sculpture contributes to "an understanding of the ways in which civilians including children () affected by such weapons".〔 Its effect is to "force us to think about violence" and "what we can do to contribute to the culture of peace."〔
Since its debut, the work has been toured around the world including the Expo 2000 world's fair in Hanover, Germany, the Headquarters of the United Nations in New York City, the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa, and the Nobel Peace Prize Centennial Celebration in Seoul, South Korea.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=The Gun Sculpture )〕
