WORKSHOP

Beyond the Geographies of War: Exploring Art and Peace

Questions of geography – of space, place, home, environment, landscape and
territory – are a recurring theme in the responses of artists to war. But
how do they figure in the relationship between art and peace? How can we
understand the role that spatial practices and spatial themes play in
creating peace as well as in articulating resistance to war and violence?

This workshop will explore these questions with reference to the Iraq war
but also branch out to consider the relationship between geography, art
and peace more broadly. Featuring talks by artists Rashad Selim and Emily
Johns and academic Bernadette Buckley (Goldsmiths, University of London),
and touching on issues of oil, water and ecology as well as  politics and
war, the workshop provides an opportunity to reflect on how art, activism
and critical spatial practices can inform one another other.
