Missions and objectives

OUR VISION is to create a global network of peacebuilding organizations, practitioners and artists that recognize the value of arts-based interventions in peacebuilding and the power of art in peace advocacy.

OUR MISSION is to strengthen the capacity of young artists (18-35 years old) affected by violent conflict, while building non-commercial platforms of expression for them to share their voice and advocate for peace through contemporary visual art. In doing so, we aim to combine traditional arts-based peacebuilding activities with substantive peace advocacy campaigns.

Main Activities

We work with youth artists from communities affected by violent conflict and believe that they have incredible potential to stimulate dialogue and peace-oriented social narratives through their artistic practice.

Our international network connects organizations, artists and practitioners around the world.

Our non-commercial platforms of expression reaching new audiences and support collaborating artists to share their work through exhibitions, campaigns, community projects, conferences and presentations.
