UNHCR’s Graffiti rocks

Refugees' dignity exposed

Refugees have more than stories of suffering and conflicts to share. They also have incredible energy, a sense of resilience, and a will to (re) build their lives. The Dakar-based graffiti artist group Radical Bomb Shot (RBS) wanted to show the refugees’ dignity and happiness in the latest work of art they realized for UNHCR West Africa. Here are some photographs of their graffiti we are pleased to share with you.
