It is my belief that art has a direct link to the heart. The universality of art, to express emotion and build on the human experience, suggests art itself has the potential to cut through the rhetoric of discrimination, isolation and othering enforced during times of war or any other form of crisis that forces people to flee from their homes, or to be feared based simply on difference.
