Artivism & Dialogue

This course examines the intersections between culture, art, and peacebuilding, offering participants an analytical lens on geopolitics through forms of culture and creative expression. Drawing perspectives and examples from dance, music, fine art, design, and commercial culture, participants will engage in how artistic practices both reflect and shape political realities, conflict dynamics, peace processes, with particular attention to power and representation. The course explores how artistic and cultural initiatives contribute to dialogue in conflict-affected contexts.

A central focus lies on intersectional identities and their role in shaping both artistic expression and peacebuilding practices. The course further examines indigenous art and knowledge systems, as well as the restitution of cultural goods, situating these topics within broader debates on cultural heritage, accountability, and post-conflict transformation. Through expert inputs, case studies, and interactive discussions, participants will analyze how geopolitical developments influence artistic production and how artists and cultural practitioners respond to global challenges. The course also considers alternative and practice-based approaches, including the role of food, storytelling, and creative methodologies in facilitating dialogue and inclusive peace processes.

By bringing together practitioners, artists, and policymakers, the course provides a space for critical reflection, exchange, and collaboration. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the role of culture as both a site of contestation and a resource in the pursuit of peace, as well as practical insights for integrating cultural perspectives into their professional work.
