The 2nd edition of the Santorini Biennale studies causations and reasons why humans are often guided to violent actions which provoke crisis, conflict and war and how the arts can create mechanisms to oppose them!

The works selected reveal a sophisticated view of Peace using references taken from everyday life. They tend to solicit and provoke the viewer into re-examining and rethinking Peace - in every day personal and social dimensions.
