What can the arts make possible during conflict, displacement and recovery?
Our new Arts as Peacebuilding research draws on case studies from Sudan, Myanmar, Syria and Ukraine, alongside insights from the Baltic States, Colombia and Northern Ireland. The research does not suggest that the arts automatically build peace. It explores how creative practice can help sustain dignity, trust, memory, participation, connection and hope, while recognising the risks and realities of working in conflict-affected settings. Swipe for examples and key insights.
