PRIO Centre on Culture and Violent Conflict

In a two-month residency, a group of international artists and researchers have investigated how creative practice can enable new ways of seeing, relating to and understanding individual and collective experiences of violent conflict and oppression.

​Close to 100 applications from talented artists around the world were received representing 35 countries, showing how many people and places are affected by war, displacement and political violence.

Now more than ever we can see how the impact of war and violence changes societies and people.

​On October 5-6th a workshop on creative methods was held for the INSPIRE project.

​​On September 15th the INSPIRE advisory board and INSPIRE researchers had their first meeting.
