In 2022, we continued our collaboration in The Mobile Arts for Peace (MAP) program. Initiated by Prof Ananda Breed from Lincoln University, United Kingdom, MAP is funded by the Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) through the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). It is conducted in four countries (Rwanda, Kyrgyzstan, Indonesia, and Nepal) and involves 89 partner organizations. The goal of the MAP project is to enhance the use of the arts for peacebuilding in these countries. In Indonesia, MAP is led by Harla Sara Octarra, while Yohana Ratrin leads the medium MAP grant project.
