Everyday peacebuilding through the arts

MAP Kyrgyzstan’s arts-based approaches and youth-led peacebuilding advocacy are our focus. We talk to Foundation for Tolerance International partners: Mrs Tajyka Shabdanova, MAP’s co-investigator and FTI president, and Mrs Anara Eginalieva, director of FTI’s Bishkek office and project manager. We speak with young participants Zhanybek kyzy Symbat and Rustam kyzy Nazmiya, highlighting their artwork and exploring key themes such as parental migration and gender inequalities. 

What’s in the name of the ‘Mobile Arts for Peace’ (MAP) project? Prof Ananda Breed, its principal investigator, joins us to explore this name, the project's methods, the connections between ‘everyday peacebuilding’ and ‘mobilities’ and how does MAP advance dialogue for peacebuilding via participatory arts.

MAP’s Logo is our artwork in focus.

‘Everyday Peacebuilding through the Arts’ is a series of podcasts that explore artworks created by young people and the many ways these artworks can travel across personal narratives, project activities, contexts, and geographies.
