Centre for Peace and Performing Arts

CPPA was founded in 2021 to bring together artists and peace actors that wish to build bridges and spaces for people to explore the power of culture, artistic expression, and calls for peace. The centre continues to have a significant presence across Europe and Asia Pacific and hopes to expand as it invokes us to reflectively ask, “How can arts promote global peace and solidarity?”

OUR MISSION: CPPA aims to foster global peace and harmony by connecting communities through the arts, bringing voices of the unknown to the forefront. Bridging the gap between practitioners, academicians and art connoisseurs, CPPA is founded on the value and belief that art can bring people together for a higher cause by evoking human empathy.

Where it all began…

Europe Peace Festival 2024

  • "Performing arts have the power to move people and evoke emotions. What we aim is to create a space for everyone to perspire that."

    Baisali Mohanty
