Illustrating stories of refugees

Collaboration with Ljubljana based Italian writer Widad Tamimi.

With the project we want to cast a light on the suffering of people migrating along the Balkan route, which also crosses our country, and help neutralizing the negative image of refugees and xenophobia spreading across local mediascape and social networks.
