Collaborative artworks created by asylum seekers and refugees who attended wood-cut workshops held recently. Most of the participants have not made any wood-block prints before. However they were able to create amazing artworks in a surprisingly short amount of time. Each image was to be a piece of a story, to represent a part of their journey that they would like to share with the community. Please come and support refugees art project!
