The history of 20th century art suggests a continuing belief in the liberating power of art. Yet in retrospective the question still remain s - Is there a true potential in art for the liberation of the individual? Can artists actively contribute with their practice to the betterment of so ciety and the creation of durable universal peace? This PeaceTalk will expl ore moments of history to shed light on the plausible realization of the li berating power of art and its ability to impact peace.
About PeaceTal
ks
Peace is one of the most complex concepts in human history. It can
be understood simply as a state of harmony\, or it can be as complicated as
the battle for sustaining life in zones of conflict. PeaceTalks is a forum
for people to develop practical awareness on topics related to peace\, hum
an rights and role of communities in social change. At PeaceGeeks our goal
is to improve the understanding of the general public and ultimately empowe
r people to promote peace\, accountability and human rights in developing a
nd conflicted affected areas.
