FULL RESIDENCY INFORMATION
VISUAL VOICES believes in the transformative power of art and
seeks to support young visual artists from communities affected by violent
conflict. We believe that such artistic expression contributes to a larger
peacebuilding dialogue and promotes positive social change. Supporting a new
community of artist-activists, we seek to challenge existing conflict narratives
by creating space for the development of peace-supporting narratives. We
achieve this through our thematic artist in residence programs and
non-commercial exhibitions.

COMMUNITY PROJECTS
VISUAL VOICES in collaboration with likeminded organizations
and artists from communities affected by violent conflict carry out community
projects with the purpose of supporting substantive peace education. These
projects demonstrate different approaches, with the central aspiration of
linking artists and communities for productive actions in support of positive
social change.
