SUMMARY:Refugee Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:Refugee Week\, co-ordinated by Counterpoints Arts will be taking place across the UK and internationally from 20-26 June. \nThe theme this year is Healing. Through creativity and conversations\, Refugee Week 2022 will be a celebration of community\, mutual care\, and the human ability to start again. \nThe lead illustration for Refugee Week 2022 is by Nima Javan\, a painter specialising in traditional Persian art and contemporary abstract art. Nima’s current work is inspired by ‘Persian miniatures’\, using characters found in traditional paintings as well as his own creations. Originally from Quchan in North East Iran\, Nima sought refuge in the UK in 2019. The illustration is commissioned for Refugee Week by Counterpoints Arts. \nIf you’re holding your own event for Refugee Week\, you’re welcome to use Nima’s image in your Refugee Week publicity\, crediting ‘image by Nima Javan for Refugee Week’ where possible. You can crop the image if needed but we ask that you don’t modify it – thanks! \nRefugee Week is a festival celebrating the contributions\, creativity and resilience of refugees and people seeking sanctuary.
