Refugee | Moaz "Voices of Resilience in the Van Abbemuseum"


In a world full of art and culture, where creativity and expression come together, I recently embarked on a journey that warmed my heart and opened my eyes. I visited the Van Abbemuseum, a place known for its diverse art collections and innovative approach to art. But what truly surprised me was what I discovered at the entrance of this museum. A corner, seemingly modest, yet soaked in meaning and empathy. Here, refugees gather, people who have been forced to leave their homelands due to war, violence, and fear, in search of a safe place in a new land. What a beautiful gesture, so respectful and inclusive to all who arrive here. It reminds us that the borders we have delineated are human constructs. Mother Earth belongs to us all, and it is our duty as fellow humans to assist those in search of refuge, regardless of where they were born or where they come from. During my visit, I had a conversation with Moaz, a refugee who was eager to share his story, thereby expanding my perspective.
