What began as a gesture of innocence has grown into a trans-local movement in which children and youth from conflict-affected societies reclaim their voices and reimagine our shared humanity.

Drawing Hope exposes the absurdity of the dehumanisation embedded in the divisions we inherit and invites us to learn from the courage of the young, whose imagination keeps humanity from mutual destruction and whose hope awakens our critical agency to grow peace.

Hosting this exhibition at Friends House is especially meaningful, as it resonates deeply with the Quaker commitment to peace and solidarity across borders amid recurring wars.
