ART AND RECONCILIATION - THE PCRC AND ASBO MAGAZINE: SUSTAINING VISUAL PEACEBUILDING, EMPOWERING YOUTH, AND EMBEDDING IMPACT

本项目建立在AHRC/PACCS/GCRF“艺术与和解：冲突、文化与社区”项目的研究与合作基础上，具体建立在最初目标的基础上：(a)调查冲突后和解、遗忘、记忆和宽恕的过程和结果中艺术和创造性文化实践和对象的历史和潜力；(b)发展与特定社区有关的创造性艺术实践和文物，并与之合作。特别是，它将在萨拉热窝（波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那）冲突后研究中心（PCRC）和项目调查员之间发展一种创新和创造性的伙伴关系，这是一种创新和创造性的概念和实践变化，PCRC产生了一种新的传播模式，第一次制作了一份试点的、大胆的、具有里程碑意义的出版物——杂志《ASBO》，并获得了“新生命”，这是AHRC-PACCS项目合作的一个意想不到但非常成功的结果。该项目将提供一个机会，通过支持《反社会行为报告》的制作和分发，为青年记者的工作制定一种更可持续的出版和传播模式。ASBO为PCRC的使命赋予了新的生命，即促进以视觉为基础的跨社区活动，并在该国建立青年能力，解决20世纪90年代的战争及其后果。拟议的项目将大大加强和融入PCRC的角色和生活的这一新方面，维持就业，发展文化生活，促进冲突后的和平与安全。在此过程中，它将满足AHRC影响和参与GCRF重点呼吁的所有三项附加要求，如下：i)它将根据联合国可持续发展目标（SDG）具体目标（关于文化对可持续发展的贡献的可持续发展目标4，关于创造就业机会以及创造力和创新的可持续发展目标8，以及关于保护和维护文化遗产的可持续发展目标11），提供重大的文化影响和以研究为主导的创新；它还可能偶然涉及可持续发展目标12（可持续旅游、创造就业机会和促进当地文化）；（ii）它将产生对PCRC和巴尔干半岛Diskurs青年记者计划具有重大价值的成果，包括为他们的工作奠定可持续出版和传播战略的基础。（iii）该项目是与PCRC主任Velma Saric共同设计的，PCRC是一个在ODA中低收入国家的和平建设组织，没有公共资金。PCRC和研究人员将共同实施一项研究与实践计划，带来以研究为主导的新视角。我们将发起一系列公开征集培训和委托，通过开放工作室、艺术家工作坊、参与式社区参与活动和合作活动来开发创意视觉材料，邀请青年艺术家/摄影师进行创新和创造，为国家历史带来新的诠释，可能被纳入ASBO。这将为年轻人和PCRC提供机会和灵感，以做出决定性的创造性干预，并加强冲突后萨拉热窝和波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那的文化景观，促进与艺术和记忆的接触。联合项目还将允许进一步研究和发展原项目所固有的评价方法和办法，这也将使包括开发计划署在内的一系列资助者受益，开发计划署也就项目设计提供咨询意见。

This project builds on research and collaboration from the AHRC/PACCS/GCRF 'Art and Reconciliation: Conflict, Culture and Community' project, specifically building on the original objectives: (a) to investigate the history and potential of artistic and creative cultural practices and objects in processes and outcomes of post-conflict reconciliation, forgetting, remembering and forgiving; and (b) to developing creative artistic practices and artifacts in relation to, and in collaboration with, particular communities. In particular, it will develop an innovative and creative partnership between the Post Conflict Research Center (PCRC), Sarajevo (Bosnia and Hercegovina) and the project investigators, an innovative and creative conceptual and practical change in which the PCRC produced a new dissemination model, producing a pilot, bold, landmark publication - a magazine, ASBO - for the first time and gained a 'new life', an unanticipated yet highly successful result of the AHRC-PACCS project collaboration. This project will provide an opportunity to develop a more sustainable publication and dissemination model for the work of the youth correspondents by supporting the production and distribution of ASBO. ASBO has given a new strand of life to the PCRC's mission to foster visually-based cross-community activity and build youth capacity in the country, addressing the war of the 1990s and its aftermath. The proposed project will significantly enhance and embed this new aspect of the PCRC's role and life, sustaining employment, developing cultural life and fostering post-conflict peace and security. In doing so, it will address all three of the Additional Requirements for the AHRC Impact and Engagement GCRF Highlight Call, as follows: i) it will deliver significant cultural impact and research-led innovation, in line with UN Sustainable Development Goals' (SDG) targets (SDG 4 on culture's contribution to sustainable development ; SDG 8 on job creation and also creativity and innovation; and SDG 11 on protecting and safeguarding cultural heritage; it might also contingently address SDG 12 on sustainable tourism, creating jobs and promoting local culture); (ii) it will produce outcomes of significant value to PCRC and the Balkan Diskurs Youth Correspondents Programme, including setting the foundation for a sustainable publication and dissemination strategy for their work (iii) the project has been co-designed with Velma Saric, Director of the PCRC, a peace-building organisation in an ODA LMIC country, which has no public funding.The PCRC and the investigators will jointly implement a scheme of research and practice bringing a research-led fresh perspective. We will initiate a series of open calls for training and commissions to develop creative visual material through open studios, artist workshops and participatory-community engagement activities and events in partnership, inviting youth artists/photographers to innovate and create to bring new interpretations to in relation to the history of the country, potentially to be included in ASBO. This will offer young people and PCRC the opportunity and inspiration to make decisive creative interventions, and to enhance the cultural landscape of post-conflict Sarajevo and Bosnia and Hercegovina, fostering engagement with art and memory. The joint project will also permit further research and development of evaluation methods and approaches inherent in the original project, which will also benefit a range of funders, including UNDP, which also advised on project design.
