War is highly visible; peace is not. If we do not know what peace looks like, how do we build it? Imaging Peace argues that the visibility of peace is central to creating and sustaining positive and inclusive peace. Based on research in four continents, this book offers the first multi-country study of under-documented, community-driven, localised and participatory peace photography projects in countries experiencing ongoing violence and navigating the legacies of conflict and war. It examines how local actors proactively appropriate and harness photography to transform conflict, to foster social healing and dialogue, to build agency and to nurture peace imaginaries and cultures. Extending critical understandings of how arts-based peacebuilding explicitly and implicitly contributes to peace, this richly illustrated book offers new thinking on what visual peacebuilding consists of, capturing plural forms of participatory peace photography methods and strategies from diverse peace and conflict settings.
