Art and Conflict

Abstract

This online journal focuses on the relationship between art and international conflict, the outcome of a year-long research programme. It brings together a diverse range of perspectives, provocations, questions, insights and possibilities by artists and curators, writers, and academics. The publication explores the work of contemporary artists, activists and cultural organisations in the context of armed conflict, revolution and post-conflict. An introduction by Michaela Crimmin (Royal College of Art and co-director Culture+Conflict) precedes specially commissioned essays and texts by artist Jananne Al-Ani; Dr Bernadette Buckley (Goldsmiths, University of London); writer Malu Halasa; curator Jemima Montagu (co-director, Culture+Conflict); curator Sarah Rifky (Beirut, Cairo); artist Larissa Sansour; and, Professor Charles Tripp (SOAS). Two further essays by Michaela Crimmin and Dr Bernadette Buckley reflect on art and conflict in Higher Education in the UK
