Putting forward a Global Peace Diplomacy Network for K-Art Song Storytellers
Our Story
The K-Art Song (Korean Art Song) Project, affiliated with The Narrative Transformation Lab at the Carter School, seeks to cultivate a shared experience of the narratives embedded in
Korean Art Song with international audiences through storytelling and collective narrative discourse.
Serving as a nexus model that interweaves performance with participants’ narrative exchanges,
the project aims to evoke empathy, foster moral imagination, and contribute to both “peacebuilding and community building”—bridging across intercultural narratives to foster “cross-cultural communication through creativity and imagination.”
Who We Are
We are an interdisciplinary collective of musicians, storytellers, and practitioners working at the intersection of music, peacebuilding, and cultural diplomacy.
Our team brings together expertise from the fields of Peace and Conflict Studies, Korean Studies, Cultural Studies, History, International Studies, Arts and Humanities, and other multi-disciplinary fields.
By integrating artistic expression with dialogue-based methodologies, we explore how Korean Art Song can serve not only as a cultural treasure but also as a medium for cross-cultural communication that can foster empathy, advance intercultural understanding, and contribute to sustainable peace.
