In collaboration with:
The Colour of Resilience is the first project in history to have teams of Refugee Teaching Artists painting canvas murals in four different refugee camps and displaced communities across four continents. The individual canvas murals were created in the Azraq Syrian Refugee Camp in Jordan, the Bidi Bidi South Sudanese Settlement in Uganda, Venezuelan refugee and internally displaced communities in Colombia and Rohingya Refugee Camps in Bangladesh.
The collective effort of creating the essential stories embedded within the fabric of the common narrative of displacement, is a tangible artefact of the global migration crisis today.
The global Artolution teams of refugee and host community teaching artists all painted with the children in their communities asking them to tell the stories of where they came from, how they got to where they are, and what they dream of for the future .
The deep-seated meaning of engaging the global migration crisis through creativity and collaborative participation creates a forum for intercultural dialogue across refugee communities around the world, and with the rest of the world at the same time.
The four mural chapters are curated in a geographic migrations route around our planet, which can be read from top to bottom or bottom to top as West to East or East to West.
