The talk will explore the origins of In Place Of War as an AHRC funded research project and examine its evolution as a charity/independent organisation which supports the work of artist communities in sites of conflict and protracted conflict across three pillars: the development of cultural spaces, education and enterprise and artist collaboration, underpinned by research. In charting this development, Ruth and Teresa will provide an overview of IPOW core work in Africa, Latin America and the Middle East, outlining how projects are developed in collaboration with practitioners in the IPOW network. The talk will also offer insights into approaches and considerations to collaborating with communities in the field, how research projects are conceived and methodologies adopted. The talk will conclude by drawing on current research and core field activities that focus on addressing urgent issues as identified in the grassroots communities in the IPOW network.

Building on her postgraduate studies and field work with IPOW , her research interests include, art based social movements, in particular hip hop in Colombia, the role of community arts based education in sites of conflict and grassroots arts based peacebuilding.
