# WithSyria, by motor on Mar 11, 2014 22:18:46 GMT 1, On the 6th March 2011 in the Syrian town of Daraa, fifteen children
were arrested and tortured for painting anti-authoritarian graffiti.
The protests that followed their detention led to an outbreak of violence
across the country that would see a domestic uprising transform into a
civil war displacing 9.3 million people from their homes.

Im sure it would be a lot more fulfilling and without all the negativity of just being art! got to applaud anyone who feels idealism over vanity and pure wealth.
So sad they are so few.

Im not moaning.
David.
Im just wondering if some gallery or artist could do a print or something as a fundraiser, but even then would it do any good?.

It's a tough one. Street artist T-Shirts seem popular for fundraising these days. Prints just seem to cause problems. Stickers?
If (for example) Banksy released this as an unsigned, numbered open edition, the money would be useful for helping refugees, but it doesn't really solve or fix the cause of the problem. Awareness is hugely important, but again, what can the average person do? Money alone can't stop the conflict.
Syria's not even really in the news anymore. It's ridiculous. The world is mad.
This refugee camp in Jordan isn't large enough, so they're building another nearby.

Im just wondering if some gallery or artist could do a print or something as a fundraiser, but even then would it do any good?. It would probably be 50 pages and the queue would be visible from space. It's a tough one. Street artist T-Shirts seem popular for fundraising these days. Prints just seem to cause problems.

# WithSyria, by doyle on Apr 20, 2014 21:44:38 GMT 1, It's so sad when i read about the people in the City of Homs having to eat grass to survive because medical and humanitarian supplies are in low supply because they are in the thick of it. It is in the news, but you have to look for it, which is why i think this is a great idea on social media, to reach to a wider audience and get involved.

# WithSyria, by Feral Things on Apr 20, 2014 22:39:04 GMT 1, The appalling fate of Syrians is heart-breakingly illustrated by these before-and-after photographs which can be viewed here. It's an absolute tragedy what's happened to the people of such a beautiful country; lives lost, torn-apart and destroyed. So, so sad.

This is not the sticker i have seen in my country, found this on the internet.

Aside from donating to Oxfam and raising awareness im not sure at all?, maybe someone with a better knowledge of such things can suggest something or provide links etc?.
Ive just looked on Syrian Embassy London site but not very successfully......OR
If a person was to have a batch of prints printed (properly) with Banksys 'withsyria' image on (its what he would want hopefully) and then maybe he could somehow sign them?, even a run of 300 at ยฃ500 each, thats 150k for a start straight to the refugees!, less the printing and paper costs of course.

But I agree, never do nothing. There's always something that can be done. Even if you can't fix the problem, you can do something to assist others.
Destroy the world and start again. Fire some political bullets. Cause riots. Anything. Never nothing. I think that's what the rebels in Syria were/are attempting. In the meantime, while the world waits for a "winner", the innocent suffer. But I agree, never do nothing. There's always something that can be done. Even if you can't fix the problem, you can do something to assist others. |
