New York, NY – June 20, 2025 – In a powerful convergence of art and activism, acclaimed abstract artist and 2024 Champion of Peace Award recipient Tony Seker is taking his humanitarian art movement, Diaspor’Art, to Bali, Indonesia, to mark World Refugee Day (June 20) and World Humanist Day (June 21). This transformative retreat underscores Seker’s lifelong commitment to amplifying the voices of displaced communities, raising awareness about global refugee crises, and addressing the interconnected challenges of climate change through the universal language of art.
Seker’s deeply evocative works, shaped by his personal journey as a refugee, have positioned him as a global advocate for peace and empathy. His Diaspor’Art movement harnesses the emotional resonance of art to foster dialogue, inspire action, and cultivate solidarity across borders. “My vision is to reduce the frequency of diasporas worldwide,” Seker said. “I dream of a global Diaspor’Art Day where art becomes a collective call to action, uniting communities to support and uplift displaced populations.”
Diaspor’Art: A Movement for Change
Since its founding, Diaspor’Art has served as a dynamic platform for advocacy, hosting private exhibitions and intimate discussions that engage audiences on the human stories behind displacement. In October 2025, the movement will reach a significant milestone with its first major public event, a multidisciplinary gathering featuring visual artists, musicians, poets, and philosophers. This event will amplify the movement’s mission through creative expression and thought-provoking dialogue.
Diaspor’Art is also forging strategic partnerships with leading organizations, including 350.org, Humanity in Action, and the International Rescue Committee. These collaborations aim to extend the movement’s reach and impact, creating a ripple effect of awareness and action on issues of displacement, refugee rights, and environmental justice.
Bali: A Canvas for Healing and Renewal
Seker’s retreat to Bali is both a personal pilgrimage and a bold statement of purpose. Drawing inspiration from the island’s rich cultural heritage and natural beauty, Seker’s new body of work will explore themes of resilience, hope, and shared humanity. His approach echoes the artistic odyssey of Paul Gauguin in Tahiti, but with a distinctly global and altruistic focus. By engaging with local Balinese communities, Seker seeks to demonstrate art’s potential as a catalyst for collective healing and cross-cultural understanding.
“Bali is not just a destination; it’s a studio for change,” Seker remarked. “Through my work, I hope to bridge divides, celebrate resilience, and inspire solutions to the challenges facing displaced communities worldwide.”
