Art of Peace: New perspectives in visual art on peacekeeping from the 1990s

《和平的艺术》探讨了艺术在澳大利亚参与国际维和行动中的重要作用。澳大利亚艺术家，如乔治吉托和温迪夏普创造了强大的和令人难忘的形象，澳大利亚军队作为维和人员和国家建设者。然而，来自澳大利亚派遣维和人员的国家的艺术家们的不太明显的观点是什么？“和平艺术”将通过一个新的学术机构、公众参与和由西澳大利亚州美术馆在珀斯和悉尼策划的展览，围绕这些艺术家对维持和平特派团的看法创造新的知识。它通过新的当代艺术吸引全国观众关注澳大利亚自1990年以来在国际事务中的重要作用。

Art of Peace investigates the important role of art in Australia’s engagement in international peacekeeping. Australian artists such as George Gittoes and Wendy Sharpe have created powerful and memorable images of Australian forces as peacekeepers and nation-builders. Yet, what of the less-visible perspectives of artists from the countries to which Australia sends peacekeepers? Art of Peace will create new knowledge around those artists’ perceptions of peacekeeping missions, through a new body of scholarship, public engagement and an exhibition in Perth and Sydney curated by Art Gallery of WA. It engages a national audience to focus on the important role of Australia in international affairs since 1990 through new contemporary art.
