Refugee Day 2022
For World Refugee Day, SAMA For All organized a “Culinary art from here and elsewhere” at Kiwanda, SINGA’s co-working space !
This year, SAMA For All chose to honor culinary art, because cooking knowledge is a rich heritage for newcomers. Hence, the participants brought traditional meals from their country of origin.
Several countries were represented: Afghanistan, Colombia, Irak, Iran, Mexico, Sudan, Syria, Ukraine, and Venezuela.
We were able to share arepas, borscht, hummus and other dishes, with a lot of coniviality.
We also watched the short-movie “We don’t like to be called refugees – Hannah Arendt in Paris” in which three of our beneficiaries participated. This short-movie, directed by Afsaneh Salari, aims at switching perceptions on refugees.
This event highlighted the richness of multicultural exchanges and had a lot of success, thank you again to those who participated!

Cultural Diversity: Enriching Society
SAMA For All organizes the first cultural event this year!
The topic is “The Cultural Diversity: enriching society”
The objective of this event is to show how cultural diversity brought by newcomers enriching their host country?
It’ a virtual round table, where three dynamic women will tell us how multiculturalism is enriching both their work and their new homeland?
Artist Statement
In my painting, I explore a world in which figurative painting coexists with abstraction. I try to convey emotion or an idea rather than a reality.
Each series of paintings mirrors a different state of mind, a spiritual moment, a doubtful moment, or an echo from the past reflecting my Middle Eastern background… it is emotional on many levels.
I paint mostly in acrylic combined with a variety of media, including fabric, Japanese paper, clay, sand, and photo transfers.
