Our Vision
In an increasingly polarized world, existing in binaries, where conscious division on the basis of identity has become the norm, the Conflictorium stands for the in-between, beyond the black and white, where the shades of grey are acknowledged and celebrated for the cause of peace. In doing so, we at the Conflictorium envision ourselves as a medium that helps build bridges creatively; highlighting how social change is possible through innovation. Through this, we aim to –
Contemporize the discourse on conflict by promoting acceptance of conflict as necessary to human refinement and promoting dialogue on contentious issues.
Be a resource centre on ‘peace and conflict’ using art, law, culture and the behavioral sciences in an integrated way.
Add existing knowledge on conflict and build new paradigms, while giving space to expression of innate feelings.
Collaborate with all actors to reduce violent tension and to find creative community-led solutions to conflict.
Build a case for informed policy which allows for community expression through artistic and cultural practice.
Support vulnerable groups to set up a ‘Conflictorium’ in their own spaces, so that violence is reduced and differences are celebrated.
Build an interdisciplinary team of young, creative and diverse professionals who want to make a difference to themselves and to others.
Start making a difference from where we are located. The centre-periphery tensions need to be nurtured.
Create a Co-laboratory where people and institutions who want to invest in peace and creative tension are welcome.
