Abstract

This multimedia essay explores the creative outlets that youth in northern Uganda employ to contribute to community peace and postconflict recovery discourse. The artwork, images, and lyrics pictured or referenced here were collected by the author during her research on the role of the arts in peacebuilding in northern Uganda from 2007 to 2010. Many are excerpts from a series she completed, titled “Bed ki Gen: Northern Uganda’s Creative Approaches to Peace and Healing” (McClain 2009). All images, as well as full-length audio and video files of the songs referenced, are available for high-resolution viewing and/or listening in the online version of this edition of ACPR. Subscribers to the electronic and print/electronic editions of ACPR can find these files on our website at http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2979/ africonfpeacrevi.2.1.152.
