#TracingHome
Sharing experiences from diversity
FOCUS
Our main focus is Palestinian refugees that fight every day not to lose their identity… their Home. We launch this project with the collaboration of one NGO operating in the field: Majd del Korom, created by Yehya Sarris (Shatila, Lebanon). Among other things, it organizes cultural activities, as well as workshops, theater or writing, creating a space for personal expression and freedom.
HOW
We believe that inventiveness and free expression are key elements when defining what a just society is; a society where everybody has the chance of being heard. We are committed in strengthening the ties that unite artists with social backgrounds and those suffering from inequality. That's why we are hosting a charity event in Nau Bostik (Barcelona, Spain) the next April 20, 2018. Music, videography, photography, textile design, virtual reality experiences, painting, and sculpture will come with international and national artists. Expressing an idea, the
permanent mutation of identity and how we experience what Home is…, those are all issues that will be dealt at the event.
Through art and free thinking, we make the world easier to handle, while expanding our understanding of ourselves and others.
PROJECT OBJECTIVES
First, support for arts, culture and education as a way of improving real opportunities of new Palestinian refugee’s generations. We are optimistic that inequality can be reduced through enhancing innovation, free expression and personal thinking. All lives have equal value and as such, need equal opportunities.
Moreover, we want to raise awareness of the living conditions of Palestinian refugee camps through the charity event held in Barcelona the next April 20. Each piece of work that will be exhibited or presented shows a particular moment of life in the camps, with a strong emphasis on
identity issues and peaceful coexistence.
On the other hand, we want to stress the role of art and culture as a powerful tool to impact consciousness of people.
Finally, the money raised will be donated to the NGO Majd del Korom (Shatila camp) to develop a project for new refugees’ generations.
