The drawings were sold at €10 a piece and this was donated to
support this cause to swedish non-religious, non-political association:
Glöm inte Pela och Fadime (Don't forget Pela and Fadime).
We covered one wall so that there was at least one
work from each artist. Then as work was sold we replaced them.
All work was viewed by the visitors and each artist was
introduced verbally. The visitors showed interest in the stories coming
from other nations.
This is a Kurdic contryman of Fadime who stayed for a
long talk. He strongly supported our initiative.
These guests had much to say about the issue and we asked
them to consider what they could do themselves.
