2024-2025 @ Steenokkerzeel Refugee Centre for unaccompanied minors
This project that aims to highlight the individuality and humanity of unaccompanied minor refugees who have arrived in Belgium, each with a unique story. Faced with the restrictions of portrait rights and the need to protect the identity of these young people, we used the art of mask-making as a symbolic bridge between anonymity and recognition. Through collaborative workshops, the young people create masks that simultaneously serve as shield and canvas, an artistic expression of their identity. At its core, this project challenges prevailing narratives around migration by offering a positive perspective. By acknowledging the person behind the label, we aim to eliminate prejudice and promote a sense of shared humanity.
These are not just unaccompanied minors; they are individuals with dreams, talents and stories that deserve recognition. Through this fusion of art and humanity, we want to generate empathy and understanding, and ultimately change the way we look at and interact with refugee stories.
