Peace in Exile

Spending years creating storytelling fashion imagery, Anrike Piel used her expertise on developing a program for young female refugees, that offers psychosocial support by activating them and teaching self-empowerment through creative expression. Throughout the workshops, the young women are taught the basics associated to creating storytelling images and videos - from learning about unique artists, establishing own concepts, creating vision boards, renewing second-hand clothing, practicing makeup, to final execution - either starring in their own idea or acting as stylists or makeup artists. After learning about the possibilities of creative expression at the Peace in Exile workshop, Syrian born 13-year-old Lana created a concept, renewed second-hand clothing accordingly and eventually starred in her own video. Collaborating with London based social enterprise You Press, she picked the song Unveiled Hearts by Gabriella Chloe ft Duncan Mortimer that was written together with Omka, a Sudanese woman.
