Abstract

"The Art of Peace Formation" explores the intersection of arts, politics, and peacebuilding, emphasizing the role of grassroots actors in creating tangible change through arts-based resistance. The concept of 'artpeace' is introduced as a movement led by local communities engaging in political initiatives that challenge oppressive structures. The book critiques top-down peacebuilding approaches and highlights the importance of including subaltern voices to promote sustainable peace. Despite obstacles like funding and censorship, the book showcases how art can be a powerful tool for social change and resistance against systemic injustices. [Extracted from the article]
