Art as a healing tool: when artists commit to peace
In a world marked by conflict, certain artists have chosen to put their talent at the service of peace. This is the case of Yusubu Kasereka, Congolese musician, who launched the project “Art as a healing tool” in the North Kivu province in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Its objective is to raise awareness among local artists about their role and responsibility in promoting peace within their community.
For Yusubu Kasereka, art should not only entertain, but also become an instrument of change. He believes in the power of music to convey messages of hope and unity. He therefore organized a workshop where he encouraged local artists to express themselves on the reality of their region and to share their concerns. The aim is to create a feeling of responsibility in these artists towards their community and their country.
It is important to recognize that engaged artists contribute to peace in different ways. Using music, dance, painting or theater, they can bring people together, tell stories and move hearts. Their art transcends borders and differences, and inspires mutual understanding and the building of a peaceful society.
Yusubu Kasereka is not the only artist committed to peace. Around the world, many artists use their talent and notoriety to promote humanitarian causes and encourage intercultural dialogue. Their voice carries, their art inspires and their commitment inspires others to act.
It is therefore essential to support these committed artists and give them the opportunity to express themselves, create and share their messages of peace. Governments, organizations as well as online platforms and media can play a crucial role in giving them visibility and relaying their works to a wider audience.
Art as a healing tool is not limited to the DRC, it is a global movement that illustrates the power of artistic expression to change the world. So let’s support these committed artists, listen to their messages and let us be guided towards a better future, where peace and harmony reign supreme.
