Description

Art is the demonstrated wish and will to resolve conflict through action, be it spiritual, religious, political, personal, social or cultural.

Polo: Perhaps this garden exists only in the shadow of our lowered eyelids, and we have never stopped: you, from raising dust on the fields of battle; and I, from bargaining for sacks of pepper in distant bazaars. But each time we half-close our eyes, in the midst of the din and the throng, we are allowed to withdraw here, dressed in silk kimonos, to ponder what we are seeing and living, to draw conclusions, to contemplate from the distance.

PeaceVox provides a place for the peacebuilder who, in the midst of the din and the throng, turns to the arts for contemplation. As such, PeaceVox works to link the energies of the arts and peacebuilding, and reflect the experiences of people involved in conflict resolution and peacebuilding work. It explores the ways in which the arts can place experiences of conflict in context and encourage change and engagement. PeaceVox overcomes the barriers of geography, technology, time, and finances. Informed by theories of social change, PeaceVox gives voice to those working for peace through a creative forum.
