It is as an artist that Dorit Cypis arrives at Conflict Resolution. Her 25+year career in the arts, exploring the social, physical and psychological aspects of who we are, how we represent our-selves and how we relate to others, brings a breadth of knowledge, experience and subtle tools?to her conflict resolution practice. Foreign Exchanges, directed by Cypis, brings together the best of her professional practices as artist, mediator and educator. Cypis offers perceptual tools from aesthetics to recognize and decipher social context and identity, reflexive tools from the somatic arts for self-recognition and self-knowledge and communication and negotiation tools from mediation to creatively engage with and transform conflict.
