Everyday peacebuilding through the arts

Introducing the Mobile Arts for Peace Podcast: Everyday peace building through the arts

‘Everyday Peacebuilding through the Arts’ is a series of podcasts that explore artworks created by young people and the many ways these artworks can travel across personal narratives, project activities, contexts, and geographies.
 

Episode 1: What’s in a Name? Exploring the Mobile Arts for Peace project name

What’s in the name of the ‘Mobile Arts for Peace’ (MAP) project? Prof Ananda Breed, its principal investigator, joins us to explore this name, the project's methods, the connections between ‘everyday peacebuilding’ and ‘mobilities’ and how does MAP advance dialogue for peacebuilding via participatory arts.
MAP’s Logo is our artwork in focus.
