Description
In this episode, host Sara from UNOY speaks with Shataakshi Verma, peacebuilder and founder of Art of Freedom, to explore the transformative role of art in advancing the Youth, Peace and Security (YPS) Agenda. Their conversation highlights how creative expression can be a powerful tool for demanding freedom, fostering resilience, and supporting youth participation and reintegration in peacebuilding processes. Shataakshi shares her personal journey and experience, emphasising how art gives voice to marginalised women, serves as a form of resistance and empowerment in repressive contexts such as Afghanistan, and holds the potential to be formally integrated into peacebuilding spaces such as schools and refugee centres. This episode offers insights into how art can bridge gaps where policies fall short and create new pathways for peace.
