Like every year, ICIP is working to promote the culture of peace in Catalonia and around the world. One of the novelties of 2017 to contribute to the education and awareness of current issues and debates related to peacebuilding and the culture of peace is M\u00f3n-tanca (“Fence-World”), a new project by the Enmedio Collective, which is currently under production.
\nThe exhibition will reflect on walls and borders and explore ways to subvert the logic of separation and stigmatization. The opening of the exhibition is scheduled for May in Sant Boi de Llobregat and it will be available for organizations and local governments starting in June.
\nExhibitions available
\nICIP currently has three more exhibitions available to organizations interested in education and awareness in the field of peace culture.
\nFirst of all, there is “Living on the Edge,” a photojournalism project by Marco Ansaloni and Angelo Attanasio on conflict and reconciliation in divided cities in Europe. This is a photographic exhibition and audiovisual presentation of a journalism project carried out in Belfast (Northern Ireland), Mitrovica (Kosovo), Mostar (Bosnia and Herzegovina) and Nicosia (Cyprus). The project shows how conflicts that have divided the residents of these cities are intertwined with the stories of people who work to overcome the past and define a common future.
\nSecondly, “#efecteGEZI: The Transformative Power of Art” shows the power of collective imagination when used in favor of nonviolent social transformation based on the story of what happened in Istanbul in 2013. It consists of a photographic exhibition that illustrates how people of diverse origins, cultures, lifestyles and beliefs, such as those who gathered in Gezi Park, can set aside their differences and join forces to protest nonviolently against a situation they considered to be unfair.
\nFinally, “Barefoot Words: Women Making Peace,” by photographer Dani Lagartofern\u00e1ndez, is also available. This is a collection of portraits of thirteen women who are actively working to achieve peace in the Middle East. They are Israeli and Palestinian women who dedicate their lives and efforts to achieve an end to the conflict and respect for human rights. All of them are barefoot, a metaphor for their honest and direct stance regarding the reality they have been forced to live in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
