EYES FOR EYES: The Benevolent Witness Project
EYES FOR EYES: The Benevolent Witness Project documents the volunteers of the Refugee Crisis. It focuses on the global grassroots response to the crisis, highlighting the most positive and altruistic parts of humanity, which includes people of every country, color, creed, gender, & orientation. Created, edited, and scored by Aubrey Roemer.
Additional images via Platanos Refugee Camp and Maliakos Nikos. Music by MMFFF. This work will be an installation of thousands of individually printed hands and eyes on discarded fabrics. It will be created in schools, community centers, art residencies, and and refugee camps around the world, as tool for empathy, art therapy, and education.
If you were a witness and wish to participate, please submit a selfie of your eyes and each hand to aubrey@aubreyroemer.net
