For ten years In Place of War has been mobilising, empowering and connecting artists and creative communities in sites of war, revolution and conflict.
IPOW’s work is about:
(i) Promoting the work of artists who have minimal access to international audiences.
(ii) Demonstrating the significance of the arts to wider society.
(iii) Demonstrating the value of arts research to public debates on key issues of the day.

PLATFORM : The IPOW digital platform enables artists to connect, share and discover creative responses to war
RESEARCH : IPOW develop research projects around creativity in sites of conflict.
EDUCATION : Empowering the world’s most marginalised communities through innovative and alternative creative entrepreneurialism programmes.
