Artist Carole Kane is a beautiful under the radar force for peace. Trained as a weaver, she has a hands-on, graceful approach when it comes to community peacemaking. As a young artist she felt moved by an appeal on the radio after the Omagh bombing, that was an ask for ideas on what to do with the carpet of flowers left in honour of the victims.
In a spur of the moment move Carol made an offer that would change her life. In this conversation she shares from the heart about the power and potential for art to help and heal and what she has learned from being in those spaces. We talk about the lack of focus on this aspect of our post conflict journey and how, when done sensitively, art has the potential to unlock so much. Voices like Carole’s have quiet gold to offer and can leave us feeling more peaceful, as a result of simply hearing their their stories of thoughtful peacemaking.
