The festive season is here again! The season is characterized by increased human activities across communities geared towards making the festivities memorable. Many people celebrate differently but it all hinges on local realities at play in communities. While all these activities are being planned, there’s need to harness various inspired initiatives to build bonds of love and unity across divides.
Harnessing the art of the season for peace cut across relevant creative activities such as music, exhibitions, Dance and carnivals for peace. A close link to that is the worsening economic realities with dire consequences on community members’ mental health. There is also a need to build resilience for the season and beyond through inspired initiatives to be carried out within the festive season. This is the crux of our conversation as we explore opportunities embedded in arts for peace and resilience during the festive season.
Consequently, we shall anchor our conversation on the underlying principles behind forms of art in communities during the festive season. How can we harness such forms of art for peace and resilience? How effective can those form of art be in our quest for peace and unity across communities? are those arts well suited for healing while seeking peace and unity? We shall be discussing this and more with Dr. Jacob Onoja
