“In her interplay of imagery, words, and sound, Angela Manno evokes the promise awakening within us as we behold the beauty of our Earth in space. This promise, as real as the dangers we face, is portrayed here with rare and simple reverence.”

-- Joanna Macy, author World as Lover, World as Self - http://www.joannamacy.net/

Set to an original, spellbinding soundtrack, Angela Manno's powerful imagery combined with quotations from some of the world's greatest global and ecological thinkers conveys "the Big Picture" and recaptures the sense of awe and reverence for our planet that astronauts from every country have had as a result of seeing Earth from afar. With its rhythmic and unhurried pace, this 13-minute program produces a deeply meditative and highly inspirational effect. "Conscious Evolution: The World At One" is a meditation on global unity and the potential of humanity to live in harmony with itself and with the planet Earth.

Brief synopsis: "Conscious Evolution: The World At One" depicts the Earth as seen from space and the invisible connections that tie humanity together on the planet surface, through Angela Manno's unique, symbolic imagery. These powerful and accessible images are juxtaposed with quotations from some of the world's greatest global and ecological thinkers including: Pierre Teilhard de Chardin; Professor George Wald at Harvard Biological Laboratories; Apollo 14 Astronaut Edgar Mitchell; UN Secretary General U-Thant speech writer, Donald Keys; and Reverend Theodore M. Hesburgh, Former President of Notre Dame.

This tape or DVD program is a must for any home or public library dedicated to peace and social and environmental justice.

Here are what some people have said about this Manno and this powerful AV program:

"[Angela's work] is a demonstration of art 'used' for the highest purposes -- to teach, uplift and exhilirate!" — Nancy Siefer, Former Executive Director of the Center For Peace Through Culture, International

"Angela Manno's work is about the connections that tie humanity together . . . both invisible and solid. She is striving to see truth and to convey it." — Michael Bell, Art Critic and Curator of National Exhibitions of Contemporary and Historical Art

"Although many artists and authors have tried to express the idea of the unity of humankind, this exhibit, with its innovative technique and union of words and images, conveys the idea in a very powerful manner." — James Olson, former National Field Director of the United Nations Association of America

"Angela Manno's artwork captures the spirit of the view of the Earth from space and provides insights into cosmic awareness." —Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 Astronaut

"She has the talent for expressing the feelings we all have had (during space flight).... In a sense the art is more important than the flights themselves because it conveys this to the ordinary public." — Sigmund Jaehn, Cosmonaut, Former German Democratic Republic; Professor of Philosophy at the Academie Der Wissenschaft, Berlin

"On behalf of myself and my colleagues, I want to thank you for expressing the spiritual dimension of our work."— Alexander Viktorenko, Cosmonaut, former USSR

"I am as impressed by her sense of individual responsibility and motivation as I am by the quality of her art." —The late Norman Cousins, Former Professor at UCLA School of Medicine; author of Anatomy of an Illness

"Angela Manno is a visionary artist, deeply committed to the transformation of human consciousness, and our collective responsibility for the state of the planet." — Elinor Gadon, Art Historian and Professor of World and Femenist Studies at Tufts and Harvard Universities
