Project description
Grassroots artistic practices for conflict transformation in Europe and beyond
The role of the arts in preventing violence, supporting peaceful resistance and promoting peace and reconciliation is not well understood. The EU-funded ARTPEACE project aims to explore how arts and culture can contribute to lasting and just peace in Europe and neighbouring regions. Working with scholars, practitioners, curators and activists, the project will investigate how grassroots artistic practices contribute to conflict transformation and peacebuilding during revolutions, armed conflicts and post-war transitions. It will develop the ArtPeace Nexus framework, deliver innovative contributions to cultural heritage through collaborative artmaking and digital archiving, and create toolkits and policy briefs for practitioners, educators and policymakers. The goal is to embed the arts and culture into European foreign and security policy and foster multi-stakeholder collaboration.
Objective
The overarching aim of ARTPEACE is to explore and advance the transformative role of arts and culture in fostering sustainable and just peace across Europe and its neighbouring regions. Employing a participatory, action-oriented, and critically informed methodology, ARTPEACE assembles an interdisciplinary consortium composed by scholars in the fields of International Relations, Peace Studies, History, Education, Technology, Critical Heritage Studies and Museology, as well as activists and practitioners from the arts, cultural, youth, feminist and justice sectors. Together, the participants will seek to investigate how grassroots artistic practices can realise their full potential in advancing conflict transformation and peacebuilding, in conflict-affected and post-conflict societies in Southern and Western Europe, the Eastern Partnership, the Western Balkans and the Middle East.
Its conceptual framework, the ArtPeace Nexus, will unpack how creative practices, narratives, curation, education, and emerging technologies impact the contributions of arts and culture to the creation of peaceful social orders. The project will also generate innovative and impactful artistic contributions to European cultural heritage through collaborative artmaking, digital archiving, peer-learning, and multi-stakeholder matchmaking. ARTPEACE will develop, test, and disseminate pioneering toolkits for practitioners, educators, and policymakers. Through these toolkits, the project will share insights and best practices on the role of the arts in conflict prevention, peaceful resistance, peacemaking, reconciliation, and the cultivation of a culture of peace. Ultimately, the initiative seeks to embed grassroots, arts-based peacebuilding as a meaningful and influential pillar of European foreign and security policy.
