What
would you do with your time if you were in prison? What about a
concentration camp? How would you survive living in a third-world
country where famine and poverty were the norm? For many people,
art is the answer. Being able to create something meaningful and
powerful from little or no resources helps them cope with the dreary
world they are living in. Everything from quilts to toys becomes
art, a means for brightening up lives that otherwise would be dragged
down by diseases, hunger, and cruelty.
