USING ART TO PROMOTE AWARENESS ON DIALOGUE AND PEACE
By HELGA AKAO
Managing Director and
Founder of RESTORE DIALOGUE UGANDA
Email ; helgaakao@gmail.com
One of the most basic needs and rights of the human person is
peace. Restore Dialogue Uganda, an organization that aims to promote peace,
mediation and restorative justice in Uganda and the East African region, organized an art exhibition under one of its
programs; The Living Together Movement, to promote peace, interethnic and
interfaith dialogue. The Living Together Movement is a global movement founded
by International Center for Ethno Religious Mediation (ICERM) that aims at
promoting peace and preventing interfaith and interethnic conflict.
The exhibition recognized the powerful voice and potential
that artists and creatives have to promote peace. The works of the artists
depicted their aspirations and ideals for a world living together in peace and
using dialogue as a means to address their differences. Each artist together
with the participants reflected on each of the ART pieces and the messages they
portrayed, shared their experiences and views and explored ways in which the
world can promote interfaith and interethnic dialogue to build a strong
foundation for peace. They came to a common appreciation that the world is
beautiful in its diversity, the children are pure and messengers of peace and
living together, the leaders are responsible for promoting dialogue amongst
themselves and the communities, the family is core in building up the minds of
the young for or against peace and dialogue and ‘it all starts with the
individual’. It doesn’t matter which religious, ethnic or political group one
belongs to, we all aspire for peace and justice. Every one left with a stronger
commitment to promote peace and dialogue in their everyday lives and in their
professions.
The exhibition, which was organized at the Baha’i centre in
Uganda and contributed to by the Baha’i community brought together people of different
religions, ethnic backgrounds and organizations such as; Students without
Borders, KQ Hub Africa, the Baha’i community members and the living together
movement members. The backdrop of the Baha’i
temple and its peaceful and beautiful grounds greatly helped to portray the
picture of a peaceful world that we are striving for.
