Art for Reconciliation

It is claimed that Art for Reconciliation (AfR) produces work that reflects, represents, or responds to multiple forms of political conflict in ways that encourage conflict transformation.

This claim is reflected in international political and financial support for the growth in AfR.

University of Liverpool, Ulster University and Queen’s University Belfast have received a research grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) to explore Arts for Reconciliation (AfR), specifically asking:

  • Whether AfR is achieving conflict transformation
  • The distinctive strategies and practices of AfR
  • How we can improve practice and promote the values of AfR.
