Al Mouhammed: Fananeen Artist and Wife Choaa

al mouhammed: There are no words to express it, the joy that Im seeing, Al Mouhammed said through a translator, surrounded by his four other children and expectant wife, according to Hamilton Spectator. Choaa and Khaled, who came to Canada in February, along with the rest of their family, are two of the refugee youth artists whose work was showcased at the Fananeen artist in Arabic exhibition and funder-appreciation party Tuesday evening. A red house like their home in Syria painted by his nine-year-old daughter, Choaa; and a cat designed by her twin brother, Khaled, stacked on top of one another. The art was created by kids who had taken part in workshops, summer camp and other programming facilitated through Centre 3 and made possible by fundraising of the Welcome to Hamilton benefit concert held in June. Through Centre 3 one of the organizations selected to receive funding kids had a chance to try activities like costume-making, T-shirt designing and printmaking, said community arts manager Becky Katz. More than 50,000 was raised at the show, which was conceived by Brandon and Amanda Reid and presented by Supercrawl, to support music, art and recreation activities for newcomer youth.
