Cra. Joan, Gracias para tu email. The project sounds very good, and it especially pleases me that the notification of it comes from Spain. I work in the U.S. with the Committee for Health Rights in the Americas (CHRIA), in the project named for Ignacio Martin-Baro, a priest-psychologist from Barcelona murdered by the army of El Salvador in 1989. Over the years I have collected drawings by children in conditions of war and suffering in Central America. It is not a large collection, but it is very revealing of children's fears and feelings, and useful as a teaching tool when helping clinicians, teachers, etc. understand psychological trauma. A few months ago I learned that the Archives of the Veterans of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade (VALB) is collecting children's art, to add to drawings collected from Spanish children in exile during the Civil War. I will be glad to help with your project, by working in the area of "Child Victims of Political Violence," and trying to coordinate a sharing between the U.N. and the VALB, etc. I suspect VALB will be willing to lend art work for the purpose of exhibition, and would also welcome the opportunity to acquire work related to the Spanish Civil War and the International Brigades.
