Since July 2022, the Peace Makers team has reached out to musicians and artists from across Libya with a view to expanding its network of peacebuilders, sheding light on Libyan cultural diversity and encouraging exchanges and partnerships between local artists. The team initially privileged cooperation with a group of senior musicians well-known across the country. These have been encouraged to network with a group of younger, emerging artists, more popular among the youth.
In addition to facilitating joint work between the collective of artists, since December 2022, the Peace Makers have kick-started an online promotion campaign on their Facebook page under the banner “Peace Ambassadors”. This campaign aimed to highlight Libya’s cultural diversity and the role that artists can play in peacebuilding. One of its unexpected effects so far has been to lead new artists and musicians to contact the team and express their interest in joining the initiative. There has also been cooperation with popular local media platforms in Libya, among which are Salam Channel, to promote the work of the collective.
