On this edition of PEACE TALKS RADIO, we discuss the relationship between

public art and conflict resolution. First, we meet Heidi Schmalbach, an

arts advocate who studies creative placemaking as a means to strengthen

community. Next, we speak with Tsungwei Moo, a visual artist who recently

contributed to the Art of Peace Project, which transforms gun parts into

artwork. Finally, graphic novelist Edgardo Miranda-Rodriguez describes how

his superhero series, "La Borinqueña", has helped to support grassroots

activism in Puerto Rico and mutual aid efforts in New York City during the

coronavirus pandemic.
