Artpeace represents a conceptual framing of the synergy between the arts and peacemaking, as well as a methodological strategy for addressing war and political conflict through the arts. Developing the concept of artpeace, this book investigates how local art projects in seven locations across Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America have played a role in broader national peace projects. And it examines the blockages that, at times, prevent the arts from making a tangible difference to the variations of peace being designed.

Reviews for The Art of Peace Formation: Arts-based Social Movements, Opportunities and Blockages

This book is shedding light on the social and political force of creative work! It extends beyond theoretical reflections as it delves into case studies where artists have attempted to alter the sometimes violent trajectory of their societies. From Colombia to the Philippines, through meticulous research and insightful analysis, this collection navigates the complex relationship between the arts and peace and helps us understand how they influence one another. --Lemn Sissay, OBE
