AHA Project

IMPACT brings you the AHA! project – Arts for Humanity Autobiographies. Through personal stories, members of the IMPACT community recount their journeys connecting arts and culture to conflict transformation, in diverse contexts around the world. Discover the people behind IMPACT and their AHA moments!

These AHA stories have been transcribed and curated by IMPACT based on a series of online interviews from August 2024 to May 2025. Each participant has given their consent for us to share their stories and perspectives in their own words.

All interviews have been conducted, transcribed, and copy edited by Kit Nicholson
