Children's drawings and paintings

We exhibited over 40 drawings and paintings made by children living in refugee camps on the Syrian-Turkish border. The pictures showed through their eyes the destruction, violence, trauma and loss that children caught up in the Syrian conflict are having to experience and the psychological effects this is having on them.
