Artsawonder was created in early 2017, recognising the many divisions at home and in the wider context of conflict, migration and arrival of new people with differing beliefs and points of view. Reconciliation is often referred to as something that must happen after a conflict. Artaswonder aims to create a free space where we work together promote pre-emptive reconciliation to avoid further conflict. Artsawonder has become an important and respected forum for creating improbable relationships between differing religious and political groupings in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
