Theater of Peace
Peace and Visibility in an Asymmetrical World
Friedensschauplätze (Theater of Peace) gathers artistic and activist strategies that make hidden backgrounds in different crisis areas of the world visible, intervene in public discourses, and defy war logic. Every day, theaters of the world are at the center of media attention. Working for peace on the other hand is unspectacular, slow, and not very appealing. How can a place, an initiative, an artistic work become a theater of peace? What alternative perspectives can be used to counter asymmetrical conditions of visibility? Is it possible to make peace visible, to represent it?
