Uprooted
The project “Uprooted” looks into questions around identity and how we could strengthen children and youngsters with a refugee background that live in marginalized and underprivileged circumstances.
It is a creative capacity building workshop training series for young artists and cultural workers with an interest in working with (marginalized) children or youth within different communities.
The workshops will offer an interdisciplinary approach, combining music/voice, with dance/movement, as well as working with visual arts.
The result of the project was presented during a performative event that is open for the public, on the 16th of October, at 2:00 pm, at Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts.
