conflict-affected environments. As international community-based collective, we are committed to facilitating visual and performing arts initiatives with children and youth across these settings. Our work is grounded in an ethic of care and respect, where open dialogue, and long-term cooperation are essential to the partnerships. All projects are co-created with local stakeholders on the ground and both process and final product are foregrounded and shared with a broader global audience. In this chapter we provide an overview of the organization, discussion of the theoretical approaches that guide our work as well as some examples illustrating our work in action on the ground, specifically Sri Lanka, Kosovo, and Algeria/Western Sahara.
