The Syrian artist bringing beauty to a desert refugee camp

Available for over a year

When Malak fled the war in Syria she packed her whole life into a few bags. She was sure to keep hold of her beloved sketchbooks and pens. Today she's creating art and changing attitudes in her new home, one of the world's biggest refugee camps, Zaatari, in the Jordanian desert. Malak's story features in a book, 25 Million Sparks: The Untold Story of Refugee Entrepreneurs. Special thanks to Nisreen Alzaraee for interpreting.
