Navigating the Nexus of Art and Peace

We were thrilled recently when we received an email from our friends at Women Peace Makers Cambodia sharing the publication of their latest book Navigating the Nexus of Art and Peace. The book is a reflection on years of working together with artists and peace builders in trying to co-create and work together for peace and social justice.

In the words of Women Peace Makers Executive Director Suyheang Kry “we have so far been able to explore different ways of how to bring diverse groups of people together who are at odd with each other; one of which, for example, is using arts to stir up discussion and dialogue. And this book is a reflective journey exploring how we balance different values, to make sure artists have space to create while also ensure communities in conflict take the centre stage and to work together to Do No Harm.”

Women Peace Makers have been Pangea partners since 2014. They work across Cambodia to train community leaders and develop networks to address violence against women and girls and ethnic conflict.
