This panel examines how the arts can impact issues of conflict and violence both locally and globally. By expanding the concept of “the arts,” it becomes possible to integrate art as a means of finding solutions to violence and conflict. How do the arts influence social justice? What forms of art are best suited to a given situation? How can success be measured? These questions form the basis of analysis for this panel’s examination of the artistic community’s ability to seek solutions to conflict and violence.
