As the Global Refugee Forum brought thousands of participants to Geneva, Switzerland, UNHCR called on French artist JR's team to organize an Inside Out action, to bring the forum to the heart of the city and the population. Over 200 portraits of refugee delegates, private sector partners, members of the host community and members of Geneva political authorities were pasted in a show of solidarity. The Mur de la Treille -the city walls on which the portraits were pasted- has protected people forced to flee in Geneva for centuries- the perfect place to showcase the city’s support for the right to seek asylum and to find hope away from home.
