Living museum

War & Conflict

Feb 26

The Living Museum is a digital space showcasing some of the incredible projects, spaces, places and creatives that In Place of War works with in areas of conflict around the world. The organisations participating in the Living Museum are based in the following countries: Colombia, Venezuela, Mexico, Lebanon, Brazil, Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya and South Africa. The aim of the Living Museum is to give people across the world the opportunity to see the art, innovation and dynamism in communities facing the challenges of conflict. It aims to help change perceptions of places, and to share and preserve culture. The initial idea for the Living Museum arose during the Covid-19 pandemic, when travel restrictions and the forced closure of public spaces led organisations such as museums and galleries to innovate around ways to stay open and provide people with cultural experiences. Inspired by these examples, In Place of War decided to launch a project to facilitate and display the amazing content from our change-maker network around the world.
