Funun Arts find Innovative Solutions for Showing Art and welcoming the holy month of Ramadan in this Pandemic situation.
Funun Arts, is a non profitable art community founded by Shiba Khan and Farah Khan. Art has always prevailed, even in times of pestilence and hardship. They took the initiative to start the virtual art exhibition in this pandemic situation where we are several weeks into the COVID-19 crisis, and by now, most art institutions worldwide have already closed for the indefinite future. As group gatherings are in disperse, but for artist there is no specific boundary between online and offline, virtual and physical. We are artist and we will use our creativity to spread positivity and convey the message that we all stand together whatever the situation is. The beauty of social media and technology is that we can bring art into your homes while following the social distancing rule. Stay home and enjoy this virtual tour of beautiful world of art and artists.
50 artists joined hand for this beautiful initiative under the umbrella of Funun arts. Artists would rather not have a specific boundary between online and offline, virtual and physical. The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inner significance.
The Philosophy of Funun arts is: “The Principal of true art is not to portray, but to evoke, as Creativity takes courage.”
SALAM RAMADAN.2 is a virtual art exhibition where artist from different part of globe shares their ways to welcome and celebrate Ramadan through art, as art is the best form of expressing thoughts. Ramadan is a holy month, which teaches us Patience, kindness , tolerance, love and happiness.
The message of this virtual art exhibition SALAM RAMADAN.2 is that no matter how much darkness is around us, in this journey of life there is always light at some point.
Shiba Khan, is an artist herself and founder of Fununarts, says, Respect and enjoy every moment of your walk of life. This exhibition is a milestone for us . With the grace of God, support of artists and art lovers we really received tremendous response for participation. And we promise we will keep in serving the society and bring in light to the society through art exhibitions as art is the best way to express.
As Funun Art is always working towards the social causes, Shiba Khan and Farah Khan are trying to do their social responsibility by spreading different valuable messages through Art. They strongly believe,
“Coming together is the beginning,
Keeping together is the process,
Working together is success.”
Farah khan, creative designer and wonderful photographer said, ”Art can make the world come alive. Art can make the world colorful. Art is the inspiration behind all that happens. Art is the pillar of strength to many around us, the centrifugal force of our own little world.”
Lets be positive and stop negative thinking. And the key to stop negative thoughts in this hour of crisis of Covid-19, is to spread your love and positive energy in different direction for the well-being of the whole humanity.
