culture wars & conflict transformation

The research project Contemporary Art, Popular Culture, and Peacebuilding in Eastern Europe examines contemporary art and popular culture as interconnected systems to gain a broader perspective on the role of art in conflict resolution. It builds on ongoing long-term cooperations between the Zurich University of the Arts, the project partner Artas Foundation, and partners in Eastern Europe – a region often overlooked and marginalized in the West. Three subprojects look at specific contexts: the culture wars in Poland, the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in Armenia and the Transnistrian conflict in Moldova. The ongoing research has looked at cultural workers’ responses to war and social conflict, the varying degrees of artistic autonomy in the respective regions, and what role self-organized art spaces can assume in the cultural field. https://zpatiu.wordpress.com/2024/05/15/razboaie-culturale/
