The aim The IPOW Anniversary Initiative is to develop and support new and emerging artists from sites of conflict, crisis and post conflict by nurturing their creative talent, enhancing creative enterprise skills and showcasing their work on an international platform. The project features alternative creative workshops for marginalised artists, a mentoring network for creative entrepreneurs and the dissemination of these artistic projects to the general public via The Guardian and Taschen publishing. The IPOW Anniversary Initiative emerged from 10 years of research visits, observations and interactions with creative communities in sites of conflict, post conflict or communities in social, political or economic crisis. IPOW's research revealed that creativity served as a powerful tool in times of social and political upheaval. Art can provide a means of resisting violence, preventing conflict, healing individuals and communities and enabling communities to re appropriate space consumed by war. However, whilst creativity is utilised to address social, psychological and cultural needs, artists often lack the skills or outlets to exploit the economic value of their talents. Furthermore, communities affected by conflict or crisis did not have access to the necessary educational tools to develop their creative projects or to connect to audience. In its most recent phase (2013-2014) In Place of War had attempted to address this skills gap by delivering informal creative entrepreneurial workshops on the ground to marginalised communities. However, it was apparent that informal workshops over a short period of time had little impact in developing skills or enhancing exposure. To this end, In Place of War has created structured knowledge exchange workshop certified by the University of Manchester. The Creative Entrepreneur Workshop (CEW) is structured over nine weeks and draws upon creative practice identified through IPOW's research. All this material would not have been available without the extensive research and practitioner networks developed through AHRC support. In addition to this, artists have the opportunity to develop a creative business proposal which will presented at the end of the sessions. Industry experts will give feedback on creative proposals and artists will be allocated a mentor to support theml. Furthermore, the most viable project will be awarded a small seed fund to support the development of the project. In addition to this, IPOW will work with Tacshen Publishing to offer mentoring support for new and emerging visual artists on the CEW. The CEW and mentoring network will nurture a new generation of artists and practitioners from sites of conflict or extreme disadvantage by creating a research-informed, free at the point of use educational tools and professional support system. As part of this new stage of development, IPOW has developed a relationship with the Guardian to disseminate and engage with new public audiences. IPOW been invited to programme 6 events at the Guardian Space in London. This unique collaboration will provide an innovate public space to present new and emerging talent identified via the CEW, giving artists an international platform, thus expanding opportunities. This partnership will facilitate connections between artists and international audiences, increase avenues for dissemination, and generate public debates on the role of arts in society. Responding to the need to generate economic benefits and improve access to international audiences for marginalised artists, IPOW will also work with Taschen Publishing to publish a book on art in conflict zones. Artists featured in the book and will receive a percentage from book sales. The proposal aims to provide tools for creative entrepreneurship, support mechanisms for artistic development and new pathways for dissemination and engagement with international audience for artists from conflict and post conflict zones.

IPOW 周年纪念计划的目的是通过培养来自冲突、危机和冲突后地区的新兴艺术家的创意人才、提高创意企业技能并在国际平台上展示他们的作品，来发展和支持他们。该项目的特色是为边缘化艺术家举办另类创意研讨会、为创意企业家提供指导网络，并通过《卫报》和 Taschen 出版社向公众传播这些艺术项目。 IPOW 周年纪念倡议源于 10 年来对冲突地区、冲突后或处于社会、政治或经济危机中的社区的创意社区的研究访问、观察和互动。 IPOW 的研究表明，创造力在社会和政治动荡时期是一种强大的工具。艺术可以提供一种抵抗暴力、预防冲突、治愈个人和社区并使社区能够重新利用被战争消耗的空间的手段。然而，虽然创造力被用来满足社会、心理和文化需求，但艺术家往往缺乏利用其才能的经济价值的技能或途径。此外，受冲突或危机影响的社区无法获得必要的教育工具来开发其创意项目或与观众建立联系。在最近的阶段（2013-2014 年）In Place of War 试图通过向边缘化社区提供非正式的创意创业研讨会来解决这一技能差距。然而，很明显，短期内的非正式研讨会对于发展技能或增加接触影响甚微。为此，In Place of War 创建了经曼彻斯特大学认证的结构化知识交流研讨会。创意企业家研讨会 (CEW) 为期九周，借鉴了 IPOW 研究确定的创意实践。如果没有 AHRC 支持下开发的广泛研究和从业者网络，所有这些材料都不可能获得。除此之外，艺术家还有机会制定创意商业提案，并在会议结束时提出。行业专家将对创意提案提供反馈，艺术家将被分配一名导师来支持他们。此外，最可行的项目将获得一笔小额种子基金，以支持项目的发展。除此之外，IPOW 将与 Tacshen Publishing 合作，为 CEW 上的新兴视觉艺术家提供指导支持。 CEW 和指导网络将通过创建一个基于研究的、免费使用的教育工具和专业支持系统，从冲突地区或极端不利的地方培养新一代艺术家和从业者。作为这一新发展阶段的一部分，IPOW 与《卫报》建立了合作关系，以传播和吸引新的公众受众。 IPOW 受邀在伦敦 Guardian Space 举办了 6 场活动。这一独特的合作将提供一个创新的公共空间来展示通过 CEW 发现的新兴人才，为艺术家提供一个国际平台，从而扩大机会。这种伙伴关系将促进艺术家和国际观众之间的联系，增加传播途径，并引发关于艺术在社会中的作用的公开辩论。为了满足边缘化艺术家创造经济利益并改善其接触国际观众的需求，IPOW 还将与 Taschen Publishing 合作出版一本关于冲突地区艺术的书籍。书中出现的艺术家将从图书销售中获得一定比例的收入。该提案旨在为来自冲突和冲突后地区的艺术家提供创意创业工具、艺术发展支持机制以及传播和与国际观众互动的新途径。
