Painting for Peace
Many strong stories and paintings were created. The paintings will affect many when they find their way to exhibitions in the local community during late Summer 2022.
Peacepainting with Young Ukrainian Refugees
In collaboration with Sandnes Course and Art Center, Kunstvandringen Rogaland, we held a Peacepainting workshop with 15 Ukrainian children aged 6-12 in Rogaland, Norway, on the 7th of June, 2022.
It was a wonderful atmosphere with children who really immersed themselves in their paintings. Many strong paintings and strong poems were created. It was a big wish from the children for that we repeat the workshop in the future, so therefore we really hope that it will be possible. The workshop was led by Peacepainting Instructors Anita Børve, Kaja Beyer og Catrine Gangstø.
The paintings will be exhibited in Rogaland late Summer 2022.
