“…we worked with teens going through a variety of life challenges, from being bullied for being LGBTQ to being misunderstood for having autism. The resulting mural is a testament to the power of public art to provide a platform for people to share their stories and experiences with the world.” – Joel Artista https://www.instagram.com/joelartista/?hl=en &…

[WEBINAR] YOUTH, COVID-19, AND CRISIS RESPONSE IN CONFLICT AFFECTED AREAS: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES

Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration Programming With Colombia’s Youth

“This paper argues for further recognizing, facilitating, and enhancing the young Colombians’ role in the reconciliation process as well as in guaranteeing the successful, collective, and community-based socio-economic reintegration of FARC ex-combatants. Including Colombian youth as key agents in the reconciliation and reintegration process is particularly relevant in the context of resolution 2250 on Youth, Peace and Security (YPS) adopted in December 2015 by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), which recognizes “the important role youth can play in the prevention and resolution of conflicts and as a key aspect of the sustainability, inclusiveness, and success of peacekeeping and peacebuilding efforts.” The YPS resolution has been a landmark in changing the long-standing narrative that portrays youth as a security threat to be contained, victims of conflict, or simply passive beneficiaries of post-conflict peacebuilding. It recognizes their potential to be agents of positive change and highlights their own peacebuilding efforts.”

2 New Yorker Artists Bring Colors, Smiles to Rohingya Camps

Associated Press, July 26, 2018

KUTUPALONG, Bangladesh--With his blond dreads tied in a ponytail and baggy jeans caked with paint smudges, Max Frieder first arrived at the cramped Rohingya refugee camps last December. Unlike many other foreigners, he wasn’t an aid worker in one of the biggest camps for Myanmar’s persecuted minority in southern Bangladesh.

His mission: bringing color and art to one of the most dismal places in the world.

Amid the sea of makeshift bamboo-and-tarp shelters dotting the rolling hills of Kutupalong, some huts are now painted over with colorful murals. Each mural is a collection of stories from the lives of Rohingya refugees and their hopes for the future.

Frieder and his partner Joel Bergner run a public art organization called Artolution. They’ve made hundreds of large-scale murals around the world, particularly with communities living in conflict zones, from Syrian refugee camps in Jordan and Lebanon to the Gaza Strip and Israel.

“You might have food, you might have water, you might have shelter, but there are many deep-rooted psychological traumas that refugees around the world are facing today,” Frieder said.

In Bangladesh, they spent several weeks interacting with children and other refugees interested in drawing and painting. They created more than a dozen murals spread across the expansive camps--covering schools, toilets and gathering spaces with a myriad of colors.

While hundreds of children, teenagers and entire families came together to participate in painting the murals, some refugees said they found their calling in art.

Hasina, 20, who covers her face in a veil in accordance to her Islamic faith and uses only one name, said she never thought women were allowed to draw and paint. She is now part of Artolution’s group of local Rohingya artists who continue to make public art and work with children in the camps.

She said the paintings were therapeutic for children. “The Rohingya have suffered greatly in Myanmar. They (government soldiers) slaughtered mothers and shot people dead. When children see this art, they forget about all that and become happy instead,” Hasina said.

Mohammad Hasan, another Rohingya who was trained by Frieder, said he feels proud when people in his community call him a painter. He believes learning to draw and paint is a means for his people to move on.

“If they can temporarily forget about their memories from Myanmar, they can use the happiness they get here and move forward with their lives,” Hasan, 28, said. “Also, they are becoming perfect at drawing and painting.”

In May, Artolution joined hands with UNICEF to create an exchange mural, which was painted by children and other Rohingya in Kutupalong. It was later hand-carried to New York City, where it is now on display inside the World Trade Center transit hub known as the Oculus.

Frieder said almost half a million people now see the art created by Rohingya in New York every day. He believes the murals are making people aware, some for the first time, about the displacement of more than 900,000 Rohingya Muslims.

“I think people around the world have no idea who the Rohingya people are and what they are going through,” he said. “These pieces of art, these stories that they create, are able to say, ‘We are here, we exist.’”

A mural created by Rohingya refugee children in Bangladesh through the efforts of @Artolution, a nonprofit cofounded and co-directed by TC Art & Art Education doctoral student Max Levi Frieder, is now hanging in New York City’s Oculus Building, adjacent to the memorial site for the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The mural depicts the children’s visions of "futures of getting to attend school and rebuilding their lives without fear."

Thank you to @nihab_rahman who visited our @rohingya_artolution artists on project and captured this incredible moment of color and joy, the heart of our work, in the Rohingya Refugee camp in Bangladesh. This is how creativity and artistic expression are capable of bringing transformative experiences to those who have lost everything to horrific violence

Reposted from @artolution - A sneak peek of today’s big reveal. Each of the individual characters were created by youth who escaped ongoing violence in Central American countries to find refuge in the United States. Their characters and the movements they developed with @kj3t will come to life later in August through Augmented Reality technology. Today the youth will present their mural and performances to the community! The youth are excited, the artists are excited - Let’s get this party started New York City! Join us at Avenue A & 4th Street at 5 PM.
