Art in Conflict is a series of discussions.

There is one talk per month.

Experts discuss art projects in countries affected by war.

Anyone can listen or join in the discussion.

You can attend in person at the theatre.

Or you can participate from home via the internet.

Admission is free.

Today's event is called Art in Conflict – Practice.

It consists of two parts:

At 5.30 p.m., the film The Landscape and the Fury will be shown.

At 8.15 p.m., there will be a discussion with the director Nicole Vögele.

The film is set in Ravnice.

Ravnice is located in north-western Bosnia.

There are still bombs in the ground from the war.

The film asks questions:

• How do you talk about the border between Croatia

  and Bosnia-Herzegovina?

• How do you show violence that cannot be seen?

What can art achieve in regions affected by crisis? How do artists engage in fostering human connections and peaceful conflict transformation, and what are the indispensable conditions for this?
The ‘Art in Conflict’ discussion series explores fundamental questions of international peacebuilding through dialogues with practitioners and scholars from diverse disciplines and backgrounds. In informal conversations – usually featuring two guests – various aspects of this work are discussed, drawing on both practical experiences and theoretical reflections. The discussions are moderated by the team of artasfoundation, the Swiss foundation for art in conflict regions, which has been initiating and organising art projects since 2012.

The series is presented in partnership with the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK), the Mediathek of HGK Basel, and Theater Gessnerallee Zürich.
