We are deeply thankful for the sustainable support to the human rights issues, and we do thank Her Highness Shaikha Fatima Bint Mubarak ?the Mother of the Emirates? for patronizing this event, and we thank H.H Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan for being with us today to open this exhibition.?
About bringing the victims to world of art which supervised by the popular artist Jen Simon who gently guided the them, Maitha Al Mazroui, the Corporate Communication Manager at Ewaa Shelters, said: ? in the beginning all participants were afraid of drawing as all of them do not have the professional experience, but under the professional guidance and genius touches led by Ms. Simon, the victims were able to produce amazing paintings that reflect their hope, pain and experience.?
?This exhibition in its third edition is different from the previous ones, as the artists ?victims? are different, their harsh stories they lived and experienced are also different, but the common thing is all victims were able to express themselves deeply through arts driven by pain, hope and optimism.? ?Through the arts, we see the important role that creativity can play as part of the rehabilitation process.? Maitha Al Mazroui added.
