Mobile Painting Room for the refugees in Iraq

The artists Till Schilling, Ivana Pinna, Anja Kocher, Thomas Keis are traveling to northern Iraq at the end of April invited by the 'Caravan of Humanity'. 
They bring the MOBILE PAINTING ROOM to refugee camps in the Erbil district.

The MOBILE PAINTING ROOM is a kind of pop-up studio with tables, easels, brushes and paints that can be assembled and disassembled in a short time. Being spatially independent enables the lecturers to work flexibly. The idea behind is to give disadvantaged children and young people the opportunity to express themselves and to share experiences through artistic-aesthetic forms of expression. 
Up to 40 children can paint at the same time in the MOBILE PAINTING ROOM.

The MOBILE PAINTING ROOM has been realized by Till Schilling for the first time in southern Germany in the districts of Sigmaringen, Ravensburg and Friedrichshafen and it is running seven years now. The studio for refugee children and young people is open weekly and last year reached different refugee camps up to the Syrian border.

For Iraq we need art materials such as paints, paper, brushes and easels.  
We are asking you for donations to be able to carry out this wonderful project, for offering to the children a safe space to process their terrible experiences and trauma and to create relief by allowing them to play and paint. 

Any little help can help us to leave more painting material that will allowed the local Organization to keep following the project also after we leave.
