Imaging Peace, an outdoor exhibition developed by visual sociologist Dr Tiffany Fairey and produced by King's Culture, will be unveiled on the pedestrianised area of the Strand in March 2025. This open-air exhibition, on one of London's busiest streets and within a short walking distance of Somerset House and The Courtauld, will make peace visible by sharing community photography projects from conflict-affected locations around the world. 

To mark the arrival of Imaging Peace on the Strand, King's Culture has launched a photography project to encourage King's Students, Staff and the Public to consider; what does it take to create and sustain peace? What does peace mean and look like in 2025?

King's Culture invites you to participate in Imaging Peace at King’s by taking a photograph that captures your interpretation of peace (as opposed to conflict and division) and submitting it to the project via Instagram, tagging @Kings_ImagingPeace  and #ImagingPeace.

‘Peace photography to me means capturing the best of life and our world to remind ourselves what is at stake when war tramples through our lives.’
