This autumn’s major exhibition at the Nobel Peace Center presents artworks spanning three centuries, leaving us with an unsettling question: Has anything truly changed?
War is Peace? is a group exhibition featuring works from the 19th century to the present day - from Francisco Goya’s harrowing depictions of war, through Yoko Ono’s activist pieces, to Barbara Kruger’s bold, graphic messages.
Is violence an inevitable part of human nature? Can peace be more than just the absence of conflict? Can we imagine a peace founded on care, justice, and belonging? In a time of global disorder, War is Peace? challenges us to confront uncomfortable truths and envision paths to peace that we may not yet have words for.
War is Peace? will be on display at the Nobel Peace Center from 12 September 2025 until 7 April 2026.
The exhibition features works by Antoine d’Agata, Carolina Caycedo, Marius Engh, Ernst Friedrich, Francisco Goya, Nanna Heitmann, Barbara Kruger, and Yoko Ono.
