On this edition of PEACE TALKS RADIO, we discuss the relationship between
public art and conflict resolution. First, we meet Heidi Schmalbach, an
arts advocate who studies creative placemaking as a means to strengthen
community. Next, we speak with Tsungwei Moo, a visual artist who recently
contributed to the Art of Peace Project, which transforms gun parts into
artwork. Finally, graphic novelist Edgardo Miranda-Rodriguez describes how
his superhero series, "La Borinqueña", has helped to support grassroots
activism in Puerto Rico and mutual aid efforts in New York City during the
coronavirus pandemic.
