Today beginning at 5:30pm in the Center for the Humanities at 95 Pearl Street the Wesleyan Refugee Project will host an art show called “Art in Crisis through the Amal Foundation at Princeton University. All of the work comes from artists within Za’atari Refugee camp, the largest refugee camp in Amman Jordan, home to over 100,000 refugees. These artists range from professionals who taught art in Syria to youth who were studying Modern Art to those who newly developed their passion in exile. Art will be sold in a silent auction format, with proceeds going directly to the Amal Foundation and to support the artists in Za’atari. There will be free Syrian food at the event, and it will last until 7pm!
