Its independent cultural-artistic activities in war-stricken countries and critical areas aim to achieve international peace and to make the world a safer pace for the children which have drawn the attention of many artists so far. After preventing Abedin Mahdavi from pursuing his activities in Iran, he chooses Sweden and Switzerland to pursue his goals. This group was able to assemble one of the most beautiful children’s photographs and drawings in the world.
The Holy Children Ensemble was initially a small group of artists working for street and working children in Iran before Abedin Mahdavi left for Afghanistan in 2001, but after his return from Afghanistan, The group became an international group of artists active in the field of children and became an institution.
And as his first institution, he started his activity and the main purpose of this institute is to support and defend the rights of children in wars and border conflicts and to show the destructive effects of war on children by art and works of art.
The idea was first implemented by Abedin in Afghanistan, who collected paintings from children in dangerous and war-torn areas. For several months in a row, he visited areas, gave children crayons and paper, and collected their drawings.
His main goal of this project is to conduct field research on the mental, nervous, intelligence and talent of children in war-torn areas, to help attract international support to help children, to warn the warring parties in Afghanistan to learn about children’s rights, and The dangers of the new generation as well as talent were in these areas .This project has been implemented in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Palestine, Sudan, Somalia, Haiti, Iran and Syria. Currently, the Holy Children Art studio Archive has more than 130,000 paintings of war children from around the world. Abedin has also collected a collection of handmade toys for children and adolescents from war-torn and critical countries, which are more than 230 very special pieces. This activity is still going on and has formed a precious and historical collection that he intends to establish a small museum in a country in the European Union to preserve these works.
