This book is an excellent source for those working at the intersection of arts, peace, conflict, activism and community...The book's concept of artpeace, which reconsiders the role of the arts in peacebuilding efforts, and the case-studies that follow demonstrate how the arts can be used to resist systemic injustice and bring about lasting, tangible change for its communities.--Chelsea Wilkinson, European Graduate School ""International Affairs"" 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
