The exhibition consists mainly of a selection of the most powerful winning photos of World Press Photo (WPP) shedding light on the situations which create refugees. By putting a face behind the unknown masses of refugees, the exhibition attempts to foster understanding and empathy, to fight prejudices and wrongly built stereotypes about people who were forced to flee their homelands and they are in need of international protection.
