The DEPA conference provides a platform for a discussion on peace education, the role of art, decolonization and the future of the curriculum that embraces plurivesality and peace. The discussion will be presented by artists, curators, academics, activist, community intellectuals, collaborators and all the cultural practitioners who embrace the idea of a peaceful world. The need to understand conflict and the paradigm of war, calls for a serious need for attention to be paid to the hidden continuous legacies of the dark side of modernity.
The videos are now available on the DEPA YouTube channel. Please take a look and share your thoughts via the DEPA Twitter feed.
These will be available from 23 August 2021.
