In the midst of the unprecedented challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, a profound and inspiring initiative took root as five Bhutanese refugee artists, each hailing from different states, joined a creative forces to establish an art group. Motivated by a shared commitment to contribute positively to their communities, the artists sought to utilize the transformative potential of art as a means of spreading awareness. This collective effort transcended individual boundaries, and as the art group gained momentum, it evolved into a collaborative platform.

Embracing the ethos of unity, we expanded our reach by collaborating with a diverse array of artists. Together, we aimed to amplify our shared vision for fostering peace within communities, recognizing the power of art as a universal language capable of transcending cultural divides. The collaboration served as a testament to the belief that collective creativity can serve as a powerful force for social change. At the core of our mission lies a profound commitment to community healing and progress through the arts. We envision our artistic endeavors not only as a means of spreading awareness but also as a source of solace, inspiration, and empowerment for individuals impacted by displacement and border challenges. Providing a welcoming space for those navigating the complexities of displacement is integral to our vision. We firmly believe that everyone, regardless of their circumstances, deserves a space where their voices can be heard and their stories shared.

In this expansive journey, we see the art group becoming a catalyst for positive change, a dynamic hub where artistic expression becomes a conduit for dialogue, understanding, and collective growth. Our long-term vision extends beyond immediate challenges, aiming to create a lasting impact that transcends the confines of the pandemic, enriching the lives of individuals and fostering a sense of connectedness within the broader community. Through our collaborative and community-centric approach, we strive to weave a tapestry of resilience, creativity, and progress, anchored in the belief that art has the power to transform, heal, and inspire.
