The Peace Room is an interdisciplinary project and an innovative
pilot academic programme developed by the Siena Art Institute to investigate the relationship between intercultural dynamics
and local experiences, personal connections and international relations. The Peace Room is partitioned in modules, each directed
by a separate Lead Artist and teacher:
- Art & Society
- Art & Memory
- Art & Mycorrhiza
The
interdisciplinary project will facilitate the development of site-specific and community engagement art practices by art students
in dialogue with professional artists, architects, artisans, educational institutions and museums, leading to the creation
of a collaborative public event that will constitute the Peace Room.
