Discussion Series – Art in Conflict

What can art do in war-torn regions? How do artists work to preserve human dignity, create new opportunities for encounters and promote peaceful conflict resolution? artasfoundation is repeatedly confronted with fundamental questions that are put up for discussion in a wider circle in the discussion series Art in Conflict. Each event takes the form of a table discussion with a specific topic. Invited experts who work with art initiatives of various disciplines in conflict regions and/or have published on the subject provide the starting point for the exchange through a short presentation or a text that is sent out in advance.

The discussion is held in English. The event will take place in Zurich as well as online on Zoom. To sign up for the Zoom link, please, e-mail us by the day before the event. 

This event is part of a monthly series that is organised by the CAP, a joint initiative of artasfoundation and the ZHdK in cooperation with Gessnerallee Zurich. Here you can find the the current programme. If you wish to be regularly informed about the agenda of the discussion series each month, please, sign up for our Art in Conflict invitation list here.
