RUSI's new initiative will investigate the complex and evolving issues surrounding the interpretation and depiction of conflict across various cultural media.

RUSI has launched a new 'Conflict, War and Culture' initiative to look again at the changing relationship between contemporary conflict and modern Western culture. The worlds of the arts, media and the creative industries have traditionally reflected a wide range of attitudes towards war and conflict at any given time. They have an honourable tradition in doing so, one which will doubtless continue.

This programme aims to reach out to key figures in the world of the arts and media in order to structure the Institute's approach to the relationship between war and culture around these cutting-edge artists' perceptions. Using the personal insights of performers, artists and creators, RUSI wants to redefine the nature of the conflict and culture relationship for our society in the twenty-first century.
