A voice in times of crisis
Art for Peace is an artistic-cultural initiative that seeks to raise awareness of the human and environmental consequences of armed conflict.
Different faces, the same voice
Through exhibitions, music and other creative expressions, this project promotes dialogue, empathy and collective awareness, highlighting the power of art to unite communities, to make visible the suffering of victims – especially children – along with scenarios of hope and joy, and to foster a culture of peace in a deeply divided world.
Every stroke is one less trench
Art for Peace challenges us as individuals and as a society. It does not limit itself to showing pain, but turns it into an ethical call: to protect life, especially the lives of those who suffer most, such as children affected by armed conflict.
Objectives
A message of peace that moves, adapts and transforms realities.
Two main pillars
Permanent spaces for artistic expression focused on peacebuilding, strategically located as meeting places open to dialogue, education, transformation and collective awareness-raising about the impact of armed conflict. Here, artistic expression is not only contemplated: it is heard, felt and becomes a constant call to action for peace.
A travelling exhibition on the move that will tour different countries, where artists from regions in conflict or historically at odds with each other unite their talents to make the impact of war visible. Each host city is an opportunity to:
- Encourage intercultural dialogue.
- Engage local communities, governments and educational institutions.
- Generate international visibility on the impact of armed conflict.
- Promote alliances for children, the environment and peace.
This artistic journey not only connects territories: it creates a living network of cooperation and hope in every place it touches.
Art is born of wounds, but also from hope
In 2005, the Egyptian artist Husam Said shaped Art for Peace with a deeply personal exhibition. Through his works, he portrayed exile, war and childhood scarred by conflict in his region.
The initiative, promoted together with Yatra Advisory Art, grew out of an intimate and urgent need: to give a face to the pain of the displaced and to transform the experience of suffering into a message of shared humanity.
