Description
This book explores how art can be used to drive positive social change and human development in societies recovering from conflict. By fostering community engagement and social cohesion, arts-based methods can help address the challenges of post-conflict reconstruction.
Case studies from around the world are presented to reflect on best practice for using participatory arts in conflict settings, highlighting their potential to promote epistemic justice and contribute to social justice and human development.
Of interest to international development and arts practitioners, policymakers, students, and researchers across related fields, this book provides a valuable guide to the role of arts in addressing social injustice and promoting positive change.
