The Art of Resilience: an auction by the children of the camps
The story
Thirty paintings that crossed a border
In the July workshops, the children painted while their parents watched. Markers, small canvases, afternoons of drawing between the tents. One of us said it best: a child who lost their home has no words for that. A drawing gives it a place to go.
The finished works traveled to the United States in the team's own luggage. "I went with suitcases full of aid and came back with suitcases full of art."
Now each work is looking for a home. When one finds it, every dollar returns to the camps where the young artists live. The children's art comes back to the children.
“You are not buying a painting. You are preserving a child's story and helping write their future.”
