During the last decade, it is estimated that the number of refugees and displaced people worldwide has doubled. Today, this figure stands at around 120 million people. The phenomenon of displacement and forced migration is possibly the most serious humanitarian problem of our time. Fleeing has become the most defining life experience for millions of people.

The present shows that this is a story that has not come to an end. The twentieth century was the century of refugees, forcibly displaced people, migrants, exiles, deportees: the losers of all wars. People who escaped bombings, violence, political persecution, or the effects of climate change. People who crossed borders with only the clothes they were wearing, who found international protection and refuge, but also rejection and lack of solidarity. Just as today. This exhibition is a journey through their history and their present realities.
