Beauty as Resistance: Art and Story as Healing Forces in Displacement
This webinar explores how storytelling, music, and art in displacement serve as acts of resistance, healing, and collective empowerment. From Dzaleka Refugee Camp, Malawi, to colored neighborhoods in Colombia, this conversation highlights artistic practices reshaping individual well-being, community narratives, and policy discourse.
This three-part webinar series explores how beauty, art, and design intersect with neuroscience, dignity, and resilience—especially in contexts of displacement, housing insecurity, and humanitarian response. From refugee camps and post-disaster neighborhoods to communities painting their way back to belonging, this series reveals a radical truth: Beauty is not a luxury. Beauty is infrastructure. Each session brings together global experts in neuroaesthetics, refugee leaders, urban designers, and humanitarian practitioners.
