"WE THE PEOPLE, For Show or For Sure?"

Carter School for Peace and Conflict Resolution

Vernon Smith Hall, 5th Floor, Room 5183

Carter School Spring Peace Week 2023

Theme: What Works? Building Peace at Home and in the World in Challenging Times. 

Through seminars, workshops, and presentations, we will present successful strategies, practices, and innovation in the field of peacebuilding.

“WE THE PEOPLE: For Show or For Sure?” is a presentation in image and word intended to engage the audience in a soul-searching examination of our own contributions to the challenges and crises facing our country and the world: Can peace survive in a structure embedded with systemic racism in the legal system, health care, and education? Can political representation be fair when election campaigns are swamped with special interests and dark money? To what extent do our politics and policies foster divisions, conflicts, violence, and war? Can there be peace when social justice is defiled and human rights are violated? Art raises awareness, inspires change, and stimulates action by expressing repressed perspectives and contesting dominant narratives.Speaker: Chawky Frenn, Professor, College of Visual and Preforming Arts, George Mason University *Sessions may be recorded for documentation purposes and shared on public platforms
