Its very nature is one of tragedy and suffering. The greatest blot on humanity, war has been a constant part of human history. We have not learnt much from the first or the second world wars. Today, our so called civilized world is in constant armed conflict. Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Mali, Sudan, Israel, Palestine, Myanmar, Syria and Yemen, to name a few. Above mass slaughter, material and moral damage, the lives of millions of men, women and children are being destroyed every day. They are left in despair and misery with irreversible scars on many generations to come.

Hence, n<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">o society is immune from this epidemic, this contamination. Greed, hatred, power, ignorance, inequality, poverty, the sense of superiority in terms of color, religion and nationality make the most rational minds unreasonable and quickly give way to violence. The most peaceful countries can turn to hell at any time. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">pART age is inviting artists to reflect, on the topic of conflict, violence and war, source of so much pain and despair in many parts of our planet. Artists are encourages to explore all the different connotations of conflict, their source and their consequences. And also creatively translate their ideas, concepts and emotions into art that would speak to people and inspire love, dialogue, mutual understanding and peaceful resolution of conflicts, be it personal or collective.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">Neville Chamberlain rightly said &#8220;In war, whichever side may call itself the victor, there are no winners, but all are losers&#8221;.
