This exhibition brought together artists and audiences in dialogue about harmony, justice, and collective hope.

Peace, both globally and locally, remains a fragile and complex pursuit. Inequality, environmental crises, and human rights violations continue to threaten the world’s stability. In the face of these challenges, art stands as a powerful force, reflecting the spirit of the times, expressing collective hope, and advocating for justice and peace. Through empathy and storytelling, it bridges divides and captures pivotal moments in our shared human history.

The Peace Project examined this ongoing journey toward peace, highlighting the critical role art plays in both mirroring and inspiring the pursuit of harmony.

This exhibition featured a group of artists united by a passion for creative expression and social impact. These artists, alumni of the Emerging Artists Programme by the City of Cape Town, brought together diverse perspectives shaped by an initiative that empowered them with artistic skill, entrepreneurial knowledge, and tools for community engagement.

Their work reminds us that art not only speaks for the artist but also engages the viewer—sparking vital conversations that drive change, foster understanding, and help shape a more peaceful future.
