Every minute, 24 people around the world are forced to flee their homes. There are 65 million refugees in the world today. The crisis affects us all, regardless of location or legal status.

Many of the artists of this project are currently residents of occupied territories or refugee camps. They work collaboratively to tell stories we often hear secondhand; tales of exile, refuge, displacement, and war.

Executed in a narrative style, the viewer can trace experiences of wandering and chaos through the canvases. Some works are rendered in a vibrantly celebratory pallet, almost jubilant, while others use imagery of violence…burning bodies, to evoke the emotional and physical vulnerability of being without asylum.

We are more alike than we are different, we are all human.
