The collection, commissioned since 2022, explores imagination as an act of resistance, turning from the battlefield to the intimate realities of civilian life, from domestic survival to memories of displacement and conflict's marks on bodies and relationships. Among the artists shown are Rala Tarabishi, Khin Thethtar Latt, Sarah Ndele and Dania Bucko, who together give form to experiences rarely captured in peace agreements and reconstruction plans.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/london/events/women-artists-in-conflict-zones-imagination-as-an-act-of-res-37076/", "official_url": "https://www.lse.ac.uk/events/arts-and-music/exhibitions/exhibitions/women-artists-in-conflict-zones", "image": "https://noky.io/images/fc5dd39f3fc7133392ff786f9042c38d405599885f700825d4a0abb4e22dcbca-2000.webp", "dates": [{"start": "2026-10-26T10:00:00Z", "end": "2026-12-04T17:00:00Z", "place": "London School of Economics and Political Science", "address": "Houghton Street, WC2A 2AE London", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "There Are No Honest Poems About Dead Women: Jemma Desai", "start": "2026-07-30T00:00:00+01:00", "end": "2026-11-01T00:00:00Z", "place": "Somerset House", "address": "Strand, WC2R 1LA London", "price": "Free", "price_from": "0.00", "price_to": "0.00", "tickets_url": "", "category": "exhibitions-museums", "tags": ["art/installation/video-installation", "society/feminism"], "description": "There Are No Honest Poems About Dead Women is an installation by Jemma Desai, an artist in residence at Somerset House Studios, presented in space G31.
