The Peace Room is
an interdisciplinary project and an innovative pilot academic programme developed by the Siena Art Institute to investigate
the relationship between intercultural dynamics and local experiences, personal connections and international relations. The
Peace Room is partitioned in modules, each directed by a separate Lead Artist and teacher:
- Art & Society
- Art
& Memory
- Art & Mycorrhiza
The interdisciplinary project will facilitate the development of site-specific
and community engagement art practices by art students in dialogue with professional artists, architects, artisans, educational
institutions and museums, leading to the creation of a collaborative public event that will constitute the Peace Room.
