Is it possible to disentangle the idea of world peace from the nexus of military alliances and geopolitical antagonisms?
Reacting to the NATO summit descending on The Hague—and its call for the remilitarization of the continent—the first iteration of long-term research project revisits a forgotten case: The Caravan of Peace, a traveling exhibition developed by the military alliance at the height of the Cold War, which toured through Italy, Greece, Turkey, and France. This early stage of research is presented through a display of archival documents and a public lecture, aiming to reclaim and reimagine the format of “exhibition for peace” as a critical space for political reflection.
