CALL FOR APPLICATIONS: ABOAGORA Retreat VIII – apply by April 30, 2025!
The ABOAGORA Retreat VIII: Repairing for Peace invites MA Arts Students and Doctoral Researchers in the arts, humanities, and sciences to imagine peace at the time of accelerating militarisation. What kind of peace is promised by the securitisation of all aspects of everyday life? How to repair relations needed for peace as something other than a transactional, compromised or predetermined contract? The Retreat takes place September 7–9 on the island of Seili in the Turku archipelago.
