The Art of Reconciliation

Since the 1998 Good Friday/Belfast Agreement, support for cultural activities promoting reconciliation post-‘the Troubles’ has grown. Despite more funding and evaluations, there’s a lack of accessible data on the arts in peacebuilding, with much information tucked away in obscure archives or within the arts community itself.

In partnership with the Arts Council of Northern Ireland and key stakeholders, we’ve created the Database of Arts-Based Peacebuilding. This resource compiles information on regional arts projects since the peace process began around 1994, offering an easily navigable and searchable database.
