SPREADING CREACTIVITY
Spreading CreActivity / refugees creativity and empowerment
Fondazione Ugo e Olga Levi | 22 novembre - ore 18
UNHCR, in collaboration with London College of Fashion and Goldsmiths, University of London, are pleased to invite you to Spreading CreActivity: a round table to reflect upon the role of creativity for people who live as refugees – part of the official closing of the Rothko in Lampedusa exhibition. Analysing trends, new production approaches and human rights, we will try to understand how activities related to art and creativity can support refugees empowerment and autonomy in refugee camps and urban context.
