Visualising War and Peaceさんのイラストまとめ

One of our UG research assistants, Matin Moors, has been looking into manga and anime, to reflect on their habits of visualising both war and peace-making. Here is his first blog on the topic - and introduction, ahead of some deeper dives: https://t.co/BLitf8gGHw

'Visualise the possibility for peaceful thoughts...' Among other creative exhibits in our Museum of Peace are two drawings by student Otilia, reflecting on the inner peace she feels when doing yoga and how that might ripple out into the wider world: https://t.co/x7EhYt4JOy

As well as researching other people's representations of peace, several students in our #VisualisingPeace team channelled their own artistic talents in drawing, graphic design, watercolour & dance. You can explore them in this 'room' of our virtual museum: https://t.co/Ht8f4zCkys

Some more versions of our Visualising Peace graphic. We'd love to know what you think! And here is a blog by student Harris Siderfin explaining the imagery and its symbolism: https://t.co/2wYFwAB6lR

A member of our student team - Harris Siderfin - has designed a logo for our Visualising Peace project. Grassroots, violent roots, flower power, a white feather, blood-red stems, withering leaves, a bee drinking nectar: all elements have symbolic meaning inspired by our research.

'Eyes Wide Shut, Mind Wide Open'. On this week's podcast, artist Vasko Stamboliev discusses his winning painting for a @NeverSuch competition, designed to give children & young people a voice on conflict. It captures the horrors that young soldiers have to see and process in war:

'When we say “war” do we mean combat? Or can we have a film entirely about the effects of combat, for example, on the home front or in the mental trauma of civilians, that we are still comfortable calling a “war film”?' David LaRocca on this week's podcast https://t.co/hjRTVD3A74

Over the last couple of weeks we have run a mini-series of podcasts looking at media which encourage people to game warfare, virtually and in person. You can catch up with them here: https://t.co/UJiJolpnIT

Both of this week's podcast episodes put online/video games under the microscope. We talk about how they visualise agency, war crimes, 'the enemy' and reconciliation, among many other aspects of #VisualisingWar: listen here https://t.co/ptJ6gH8lFY and here https://t.co/xAONfs5oeV

Can you 'game' peace? What forms of reconciliation or peace-building do video/online games enable players to try out? And are some video/online games consciously 'anti-war'? Today's podcast looks at less-well known war games alongside some big names: https://t.co/xAONfs5oeV
