SUMMARY:Art as a Tool for Peace Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Art Exhibition at Edinburgh Law School\, Old College\, South Bridge\, Edinburgh EH8 9YL \nPeaceRep and the Global Justice Academy are proud to announce a new art exhibition highlighting the role of art as a tool for local peace. This powerful exhibition brings together a series of works by young artists from across Syria and Yemen\, offering a glimpse into everyday life in some of the world’s most protracted conflicts. View the collections in the Edinburgh Law School cafe throughout summer 2022. \nAbout the Exhibition\nThe exhibition features a series of paintings created by a group of young Syrian artists called the Blue Team (Fariq Azraq in Arabic)\, who have collaborated to illustrate life in opposition-held areas of Syria during the Covid-19 pandemic. Earlier in 2021\, the artists produced two exhibitions in Syria – combining art\, music\, and activities – that offer powerful insights into the daily lives of Syrian displaced and ethnic minorities\, and demonstrate how art can bring people together and act as a tool for local peace. Now in Scotland for the first time\, this exhibition is an opportunity to view the paintings and hear the stories of these extraordinary young people. \nThe exhibition also features the work of award-winning Yemeni artist Shatha Altowai\, an IASH Artist Protection Fund Fellow. In “The White Canvas”\, Shatha addresses issues that she has experienced and observed throughout her life in Yemen\, specifically focussing on the last seven years since the eruption of the current war. She aims to highlight the lifestyles of Yemeni families living through the war\, their solidarity\, and how they seek to overcome the lack of basic necessities\, such as food\, water\, electricity\, fuel and security. Her work conveys the contradictory emotions of strength and fear that Yemeni families grapple with as part of their everyday experience. \nTogether these two sets of paintings offer a unique perspective on life in conflict zones\, and on the power of art to bring people together and contribute to local peace. \nView The Blue Team’s collection and Shatha Altowai’s The Family Series. \nAbout the Project\nThis exhibition is part of a research project supported by the FCDO-funded Covid Collective Research Platform\, and forms part of PeaceRep’s work on the nexus between the Covid-19 pandemic\, peace and conflict and the interplay between several layers of crises. In Syria\, PeaceRep Research Fellow Dr. Juline Beaujouan and two of her colleagues – Abdulah El hafi and Eyas Ghreiz – built on collaborations with local communities in opposition-held areas in the northwest of the country to investigate the shifting role of local civil society during the pandemic. \nFurther Reading\nArt as a tool for local peace: Reflections of young artists in Syrian opposition-held areas \nYoung artists illustrate life in Syrian opposition-held areas \nShatha Altowai \nThe Blue Team

SUMMARY:Peace Talks Webinar - Chinese approaches to conflict management: Lessons for ongoing conflicts in near and far abroad
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday 14 June 2022\n12:30 – 13:30 BST \nRegister to attend via Zoom\nChina’s vision of addressing violent conflicts and security challenges differs substantially from those of Western countries. China seeks stability\, rather than peace; and China’s economic development\, and connectivity and trade needs drive their engagement in conflict and post-conflict settings. \nWhat lessons does this approach hold for contemporary conflicts\, from Myanmar to the Horn of Africa and Ukraine? Speakers will present findings from recent PeaceRep reports on Chinese approaches to conflict management and what lessons these hold for contemporary conflicts\, from Myanmar to the Horn of Africa and Ukraine. Followed by Q&A. \nConfirmed presenters include Bernardo Mariani (independent consultant) and Monalisa Adhikari (PeaceRep research). \nThe speakers will discuss findings from recent Global Transitions reports: \n• China’s Engagement in Conflict and Post-Conflict Settings: The Quest for Stability (Bernardo Mariani) \n• “Asian” Approaches to Peacebuilding?: Modalities\, Convergences\, and Differences in India\, Japan and China’s Approach to Supporting Peace Processes (Monalisa Adhikari) \nAbout the Global Transitions Series: \nPeaceRep’s Global Transitions Series looks at fragmentations in the global order and how these impact peace and transition settlements. It explores why and how different third-party actors – state\, intergovernmental\, and non-governmental – intervene in conflicts\, and how they see themselves contributing to reduction of conflict and risks of conflict relapse. The series critically assesses the growth and diversification of global and regional responses to contemporary conflicts. It also asks how local actors are navigating this multiplicity of mediators and peacebuilders and how this is shaping conflict outcomes and post-conflict governance.
