“Do you remember that feeling of friendship and complicity you had when sharing a set of headphones with someone close? The enthusiasm of experiencing your favorite song with them and the closeness created within that moment of intimacy? For a few moments, the entire world was blurred out, and just the two of you were left vibrating in unison to a song that I bet you still carry with you. From our most recent favorite song to representations of cultural heritage that grow on us as we age, art can be useful in exploring identity, building community, and finding common ground with the people around us. It can help us make new friends, deepen our connections with others, remember where we came from, and inspire us to dream big about where we’re going next. Drawing on the idea of art as a tool for connection, The World Refugee Day Mural created by @wanda.direct captures a candid moment between two young people sharing a song. It stands as a symbol of our capacity to overcome our differences and relate to each other through the universal languages of art and human emotion. Powered by @jbl_romania and UNHCR Thank you @activrandom for including this project in the @omfestromania celebration of World Refugee Day Romania.”
