What is the role of art in conditions of war and crisis?
On the contribution of Art & Design to the basic needs of refugees
Refugee camps facilitate refugees with provision for food, water, and shelter. While undeniable in their importance, human needs extend beyond biological life. The support of the cultural and emotional needs of refugees is equally essential to ensure the well -being of communities in threat. It is here that we can understand the value of art and design in the refugee context. Through a spectrum of scales, art& design can dignify, educate, inspire!
