| SANJU ROKKEI
is the result of ARTISTS WITHOUT BORDERS'
humanitarian and artistic mission in the Caucasus, an
outstanding collection of more than one hundred works
of art created by refugee children and children who have
been victims of war in Abkhazia, Georgia and Chechnya. |

What do refugee children draw?
What messages did they send to the outside world?
How come refugee children are able to create such powerful
drawings?! |
| |
| Inspired by the famous series
FUGAKU SANJU ROKKEI by celebrated
Japanese ukiyo-e painter Katsushika
HOKUSAI (1760-1849), Chechen children imagined
and drew THE 36 VIEWS OF MOUNT FUJI
and when learning sumi-e, they mixed shuji
(Japanese calligraphy) and their drawings creating a new
avantgardistic genre: SHUJI-E. |
| |
| This exhibition, besides its
aesthetics merits, is a touching testimony full of childish
tenderness and human solidarity. |
