DR. CHADI CHAMOUN “WAAR is my way of drawing awareness to a situation that society is trying very hard to ignore, but it cannot, and will not be ignored�
Dr. Chadi Chamoun is a passionate, eccentric and bold Arab-American who believes in liberty, progress and liberal action. He has been a refugee, immigrant and citizen of the world and relates to problems and challenges faced by minorities and underprivileged communities around the world. Dr.Chamoun had worked in developing himself and has graduated with a PhD from the world-renowned University College of London with a PhD degree in architectural design. WAAR* is his latest project. The concept suggests "we are all refugees" regardless of social, economic or political status. Whether a person has left their home for financial, social, political, or other reasons - this detachment of place and culture contribute to the refugee crisis today. What better way to showcase this contemporary condition than designing a ladies clutch - the premise being it is the ultimate holder of "necessities" the bare minimum carrier device - and drawing awareness to the refugee crisis. 54
