Dear Sir/Madam,
We are delighted to inform you about the upcoming 5th edition of the WARM Academy, organized by the WARM Foundation.
The WARM Academy is a multidisciplinary educational program that aims to explore and showcase cutting-edge approaches, innovative techniques, and best practices utilized worldwide in addressing issues related to contemporary conflict and post-conflict transitions.
Taking place in Sarajevo alongside the WARM Festival (10-15 July 2023), the Academy will specifically focus on the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine, but also Afghanistan, Iran and Sudan among others, and the crucial role of reporters, artists, and academics in times of crisis.
We cordially invite students, researchers, artists, photographers, academics, journalists, and individuals interested in conflict transformation, peacebuilding, human rights, transitional justice, and related fields to apply for participation in the WARM Academy.
Moreover, participants will have the unique opportunity to attend lectures offered by our esteemed partner, Kuma International. Established in 2018, Kuma International Summer School is the first program solely dedicated to contemporary art practices produced in the context of conflict and trauma, with a focus on Bosnia and Herzegovina and the work of artists in the region and the diaspora in response to the political turmoil of the 1990s, including the fall of Yugoslavia, war, and genocide.
