Art in context for conflict resolution
The "Peace is a Work of Art" program executes its actions through the following lines of work:
Art, culture and healing
Workshops and diploma for diverse populations, in consortium with the Area of Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts. This seeks to prevent the linkage of young people to armed groups, support the overcoming of trauma caused by the armed conflict, contribute to the reconstruction of the social fabric and promote the empowerment of victims.
Through artistic tools, specific communities are intervened.
Enable experiences and sensitive scenarios from the arts to address the issues of reconciliation, forgiveness and peace building.
Education and pedagogy for peace
Art in prisons
Provide inmates with artistic, conceptual and technical tools that allow them to transform themselves, in association with INPEC, by accompanying inmates through the visual arts, theater and music through the figure of academic practices with teaching support.
Contribute from the languages of art to the constitution of political subjectivities from memory, reconciliation and forgiveness.
Art and constitution of political subjectivities
Art as translation
It explores the possibilities of applying art in a transversal way to allow communities to experientially experience concepts and ideas derived from other disciplines of knowledge, allowing a better incorporation of such knowledge into the daily life of communities. In this way, interdisciplinary bridges are built that offer the possibility of approaching problems from other points of view and involving the person from a sensitive perspective of their being, which enables new ways of expression while sensitizing themselves to the heat of action.
Training and advice in project formulation, development and implementation of networks and strategic connections to continue working on peace issues. It allows to develop autonomy in the communities for self-management, exploring alternative economies from the art (for example, barter), the creation of community databases and the creation or participation of community groups in festivals.
