What sets this art team apart from many others is its community-oriented and multicultural ethic. By that we mean that the team, the people who both provide and benefit from the collective’s mission, is a mosaic of cultural backgrounds and identities. Some languages you’ll hear if you join one of Perspectives Art’s meetings are English, Farsi, Arabic, Urdu, and Greek. The connecting line between them is art. During our visit we met Mehrdad, a political refugee from Iran who was forced to flee his country and leave his family behind. Upon his arrival to Greece he spent two months in prison because he was not yet issued asylum and during these days his art was all he had; he expressed himself in his diary through sketches and drawings. Sally, another Perspectives Art member came to Greece from Iraq when she was only two years old. Painting, she says, has helped her understand her own identity and self-concept. In her opinion, every being has an artist within them in some way and we should all express this artistic energy we’re hiding if we want to create a peaceful, harmonious world.
