My Book: a collection of poems, short stories and paintings edited by refugees and immigrants

All artists that have shared their art through #MyBook are or were beneficiaries of the Accommodation program implemented by SolidarityNow (ESTIA program – Emergency Support for Integration and Accommodation). The connecting thread is Art: painting, poetry, short stories, or rap lyrics. Art allows, each one distinctly, to find a way out from what pains them, constructing optimistic new worlds, suffused with brighter hues. The ”My Book” project is a personal testimony of their past, their roots, what used to define them and what defines them still. It is also the distillation of their thoughts on the present – living in a new country, a new continent. It is also the expression of fears and hopes for the future – their dreams to live a “normal” life again, free of labels and stigma.
