项目摘要

'Performing Violence, Engendering Change: Developing Arts-Based Approaches to Peacebuilding' connects artists and researchers from ODA recipient countries across Africa, the Middle East and South Asia working with peacebuilding practices rooted in the arts. It does so by bringing together GCRF and British Academy projects on the impact of the Lebanese civil war on infrastructure; gender and resistance to violent extremism in Kenya; the relationship between transitional justice and development in conflict-affected societies; and gender justice and gendered insecurities. The Cluster will enhance participants' roles as stakeholders in peacebuilding by providing opportunities for research collaboration and knowledge exchange during three week-long workshops held in Kenya, Lebanon and Sri Lanka.In recent years, scholars, policy makers and practitioners have begun to acknowledge the benefits of using arts-based methods for violence prevention and peacebuilding. Evidence suggests that arts-based methods hold significant potential for improving human security and relations between groups in areas affected by violence and conflict. Arts-based methods, especially when combined with community-centred participatory methodologies, can act at once as analytical tools and dissemination media, whilst creating spaces for practical interventions in difficult contexts. Despite the growing awareness of the positive impact of arts-based methods, there are scarce opportunities for communities of practice and research to learn from each other, co-create research and establish networks. Spatial and existential isolation can result from living with extremist violence and conflict, with debilitating but different consequences for women, men, youth and other social groups. The silence and seclusion, secrecy and loneliness that conflict zones engender have been linked with the presence of PTSD and other mental health conditions. Whilst violence and conflict disrupt and often devastate communities, the shared experiences they generate can also be used to connect people. The Cluster aims to break isolation and achieve impact by connecting communities in Kenya, Lebanon and Sri Lanka affected by conflict and extreme violence, who are working to build positive peace. The grant will be invested almost exclusively in bringing together community activists, practitioners, artists, academics (including early career researchers and PhD students) and policy makers in three workshops that will focus on network- and capacity building through intensive research production, knowledge exchange and training sessions on the use of filmmaking, theatre, performance and visual arts as tools to confront violence and promote positive peace. Workshops will include substantial focus on the ways that arts-based approaches can enhance gender approaches to conflict research and peacebuilding.The Cluster is designed to accelerate the impact of the contributor projects by building deep and lasting links between researchers, partners, policy makers, civil society actors and communities affected by violence, with a view to the network expanding to include other participants and cases in future research. In addition to traditional academic outputs, the Cluster will produce short documentary films on arts-based peacebuilding practices and an open-ended interactive Online Archive providing wide access to the Cluster's research via a dedicated website. The website will be the main portal for public engagement, featuring videos, podcasts and case studies, as well as serving as a resource beyond the end of the award. These activities and outputs are geared towards achieving three specific and measurable impacts on the practices of violence prevention, the prevention of violent extremism and peacebuilding: the creation and transfer of knowledge on arts-based approaches to these challenges; context-driven learning and capacity building; and fostering gender and social inclusion.

“执行暴力，实施变革：开发基于艺术的建设和平方法”将来自非洲的ODA接受者国家，中东和南亚的艺术家和研究人员联系起来，从事植根于艺术的建设和平实践。这样做是通过将GCRF和英国学院项目汇总到黎巴嫩内战对基础设施的影响的情况下来的；肯尼亚的性别和对暴力极端主义的抵抗；在受冲突影响的社会中过渡正义与发展之间的关系；以及性别正义和性别不安全感。该集群将通过在肯尼亚，黎巴嫩，黎巴嫩和斯里兰卡举行的为期三个星期的研讨会上提供研究合作和知识交流的机会来增强参与者在建设和平建设和平建设中的作用。在近年来，学者，政策制定者和从业者已经开始承认使用基于艺术的方法来承认利用基于艺术的方法来实现暴力侵害和和平的企业。有证据表明，基于艺术的方法具有改善受暴力和冲突影响的地区的人类安全和群体之间关系的巨大潜力。基于艺术的方法，尤其是与以社区为中心的参与式方法结合使用的方法，可以立即作为分析工具和传播媒体起作用，同时在困难环境中为实际干预措施创造空间。尽管人们对基于艺术的方法的积极影响的认识越来越大，但实践和研究社区互相学习，共同创建研究并建立网络仍然存在很少的机会。空间和生存孤立可能是由于极端主义暴力和冲突而导致的，对妇女，男人，青年和其他社会群体产生了令人衰弱但不同的后果。冲突地区产生的沉默和隐居，保密和孤独与PTSD和其他心理健康状况的存在有关。尽管暴力和冲突破坏并经常破坏社区，但他们产生的共同经历也可以用来联系人们。该集群旨在通过将冲突和极端暴力影响的肯尼亚，黎巴嫩和斯里兰卡的社区联系起来，打破孤立并实现影响，他们正在努力建立积极的和平。该赠款将几乎完全投资于将社区活动家，从业人员，艺术家，学者（包括早期的职业研究人员和博士学位学生）和政策制定者组合在一起，这些研讨会将重点放在网络和能力上，通过密集的研究制作，知识交流和培训课程，涉及电影制作，戏剧，戏剧，戏剧，表演和视觉艺术的使用，以此来促进正面的暴力和促进正面的和平的和平。讲习班将重点关注基于艺术的方法可以增强冲突研究与建设和平的性别方法。该集群旨在通过建立研究人员，合作伙伴，政策制定者，公民社会参与者，受到暴力影响的研究人员之间的深厚和持久联系来加速贡献项目的影响，并以扩展网络扩展，以扩展网络，包括其他参与者和其他研究人员，并包括其他研究人员。除传统的学术成果外，该集群还将制作有关基于艺术的和平实践的简短纪录片和开放式的交互式在线档案，可通过专用网站广泛访问集群的研究。该网站将是公众参与的主要门户网站，其中包含视频，播客和案例研究，并作为奖项末尾的资源。这些活动和产出旨在实现对预防暴力，预防暴力极端主义和建设和平的实践的三种特定和可衡量的影响：创造和转移基于艺术的方法应对这些挑战的方法；上下文驱动的学习和能力建设；并培养性别和社会包容。
