Through The Peace Studio, Maya Soetoro hopes to help journalists and artists understand the key role they play in creating social movements and building empathy, especially in a chaotic world.
The Peace Summit features an impressive lineup which includes Viola Davis, Common, Civil Rights leader Xernona Clayton, Ringo Starr, Dondré Whitfield and Adrian Grenier. Each day begins with yoga and meditation sessions. Panels center about everything from using music for social justice to how journalists can help promote peace through their coverage of world events to contemplating identity through poetry.
From the time she was a child, Soetoro developed an awareness of the importance of social justice from her mother, Ann Dunham. “My mom would take me along with her to develop mico-finance programs across different communities in Indonesia and elsewhere and would show me that being able to feed one’s family could have a tremendous ripple effect on gender equality or the economic well-being of the broader community,” explains Soetoro whose brother is President Barack Obama.
We don’t teach them their craft. The artists and journalists we work with already tell powerful stories, create stunning visual art, and play music beautifully. Our unique mission stems from our desire to train artists and journalists to see their work as integral components of peace and justice—that they come to understand that they have a critical role to play in creating social movements and building empathy even amid chaos.
