Artoble Podcast: Prof Kit Messham-Muir, Art of Peace: Art After War

January 18, 2025 • Lyn DiCiero, Artoble, the art finder app

What is the art that comes after war? How do visual artists address the trauma of war and life after conflict?

Lyn DiCiero speaks with Curtin University Professor Kit Messham-Muir, one of three researchers from the Art of Peace project, their work culminating in a free symposium at Curtin University 1 and 2 February, coinciding with an exhibition, Art of Peace at the Art Gallery of Western Australia, on show from 1 February - 29 June 2025.

The symposium and exhibition give artists a voice in the aftermath of war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Rwanda, and Timor-Leste, where populations each emerged from hell on earth.
