CONTEMPORARY VISUAL ART IS A VALUABLE PEACEBUILDING TOOL. AS AN ENGAGING MEDIUM THAT ALLOWS FOR NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION, IT DRAWS OUT STRONG EMOTIONAL RESPONSES AND OFTEN CREATES DEEPER FEELINGS OF EMPATHY AND UNDERSTANDING.
OUR VISION is to create a global network of peacebuilding organizations, practitioners and artists that recognize the value of arts-based interventions in peacebuilding and the power of art in peace advocacy.
OUR MISSION is to strengthen the capacity of young artists (18-35 years old) affected by violent conflict, while building non-commercial platforms of expression for them to share their voice and advocate for peace through contemporary visual art. In doing so, we aim to combine traditional arts-based peacebuilding activities with substantive peace advocacy campaigns.
We work with youth artists from communities affected by violent conflict and believe that they have incredible potential to stimulate dialogue and peace-oriented social narratives through their artistic practice.
Our international network connects organizations, artists and practitioners around the world.
