Lernziele / Kompetenzen
  • To be introduced to the professional field of peace-building, its agents and their practices and to understand key terms used in this field (e.g. positive and negative peace, conflict, negotiation, mediation…).
  • To study and discuss examples of artists’ interventions before, during or after violent conflicts and find a personal position vis-a-vis such works.
  • To address the issue of an “instrumentalisation of art” and to know measures for preventing it.
InhalteIn order to respond to the acute challenges of the 21st century, we have to collaborate across national boundaries, across social classes and ethnic divides, have to see cultural differences as a resource rather than as an obstacle. And in doing so, we have to overcome the bitter heritage of old and new structures of exploitation. Conflicts will certainly be part of this process. How can we resolve conflicts without violence? How can artists contribute to peaceful conflict resolution (without being instrumentalised)? What examples are there of artistic interventions before, during or after the outbreak of violent conflicts? The module will address these questions and issues and will seek answers and possible solutions.
