Giving a voice to people who are facing forced displacement is the core of our engagement. Through photo essays, video portraits, longreads, interviews, online presence and offline implementations such as art installations and exhibitions in the public space we make an impact. We travel far and walk the extra mile to pass on important and strong stories that deserve to be heard.
