Exhibition Online

The exhibition CREATING SAFER SPACE explores the unexpected power of nonviolence in the protection of civilians living in the midst of violence. The objects, images, and voices originate from a selection of 26 research projects funded by the Creating Safer Space network, which have been conducted in collaboration between academics, self-protecting communities and nonviolent civilian accompaniers. The exhibition draws on experiences from Cameroon, Colombia, Indonesia, Kenya, Myanmar, Nigeria, Palestine, the Philippines, South Sudan, and Thailand, where civilians are harnessing the power of nonviolence to create safer spaces and work towards alternative presents and futures. The travelling exhibition has previously been on show in Nairobi (Kenya), Bangkok (Thailand), Aberystwyth (Wales), the United Nations Headquarters in New York (USA), MedellĂ­n (Colombia) and Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) – more information here.
