FAQ About The Role of Art in Post-Conflict Reconciliation
How can art help in the healing process after a conflict?
Art can be a therapeutic process that helps individuals and communities express and process traumatic experiences. Engaging in artistic activities allows participants to externalize emotions and share their stories non-verbally. This can be particularly beneficial when verbal communication is challenging or when discussing painful memories. Art therapy sessions and community art projects can facilitate psychological recovery and restore a sense of normalcy and hope.
