Peacebuilding and the arts is a translation and communication
of ideas through manipulation, experimentation, and innovation
of different art tools and materials. It is also an exploration
of interest, knowledge and skills on different visual arts
activities and peacebuilding courses.
The participants would expand and deepen their interest
and concern with more people in different beliefs, religion,
practices and culture from different groups, communities and
nationalities.
Peacebuilding and the arts is an exciting field to explore,
discover, and experience. It plays a very important role to
promote culture of peace. Also, it clarifies and strengthen,
what the participants experienced and learned from other peacebuilding
courses and activities.
Visual arts in particular is one of the best tool for projecting
issues, and the artists have a great role in both peace education
and therapy, as many have been affected by the violence, discrimination,
isolation, biases, prejudices and injustices in the world
today. Visual arts can convey a concept, a feeling and ideas
which may be difficult to express in words or in actions.
It can be a self-expression and at the same time a forceful
medium to mirror the source of conflict, biases, prejudices
and injustices with their resolutions and healing process.
No basic skills required for the participants, only visual
arts interest and vision for world peace. |
