“The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting”
Art is a very handy tool to express trauma & tragedy experienced by children from war. We hold art workshops to enable children living in the refugee camps to express their feelings and emotions in drawings. The drawings we usually get are a mixture of shock, drama, sadness, hope and powerful. This exhibition has toured more than 80 different destinations across the world including UK, USA, France and Germany. including Imperial War Museum London, Harvard university and many more. You can Read BBC Newsbeat piece about it. The drawings have been viewed by over 50,000 people.
