Abstract
Conflict transformation invites creative responses from both individuals and societies. This paper explores poetry, the embodied process of Interplay and Johann Galtung's Transcend Method in order to articulate a pathway to establishing cultures of peace. The case is made that cultural inventiveness works towards both violence and peace, and that peacebuilding is an aesthetic process of ordering our relationship with the past, present and future. Creative processes such a poetry and embodied inquiry, work to generate fields of meaning making that take the wound and incorporate it into self and collective understanding of human frailty and also human possibility. This is the work of the artisan-artist of peacebuilding.
