The love for Disney stretches far and wide.
At least that’s what artist Saint Hoax discovered while visiting a refugee camp in Akkar, Lebanon. A Syrian citizen herself, the artists teamed up with MALAAK, an NGO providing aid and education for Syrian refugees, and a team of girls currently residing at the came for a project entitled, “Once Upon a War.”
“’Once Upon a War’ is the outcome of my life-altering encounter with these girls,” Saint Hoax explains.
“Most of them never get the chance to play pretend because their reality is over dominating. It is why Plastik Studios and I decided to throw a costume party in the camp. They got to dress up as their favorite Disney princesses and talk about their aspirations.”
