I couldn't find any better caption to this photo, as I feel that it reflects the spirit of it best of all. Shot next to Orly airport, in Paris, France

These plates are two in a series of six depicting the perils of modern migration. For these works, Ai relies on the mastery of today’s cobalt painters able to work in the style of historical blue -and-white porcelain. Ai applies their skills to a contemporary subject, connecting the present crisis to the long history of migration.

However they arrive, asylum seekers, immigrants, and refugees reach with outstretched hands toward safer, more promising shores. Welcoming these wayfarers rekindles our humanity and heals our broken parts. Only within the cords that bind us together do we find answers to age-old questions about despair and enmity, fear and alienation, justice and hope
The Plaza de Cibeles is a square with a neo-classical complex of marble sculptures with fountains that has become an iconic symbol for the city of Madrid. It sits at the intersection of Calle de Alcalá (running from east to west), Paseo de Recoletos (to the North) and Paseo del Prado (to the south). Plaza de Cibeles was originally named Plaza de Madrid, but in 1900, the City Council named it Plaza de Castelar, which was eventually replaced by its current name.
It is currently delimited by four prominent buildings: The Bank of Spain, the Palacio de Buenavista, the Palacio de Linares and the Cybele Palace. These constructions are located in four different neighbourhoods from three different adjacent districts: Centro, Retiro and Salamanca.
In the years Cybele Palace and her fountain have become symbolic monuments of the city.

Mohammad Aman Yusufi - Dambura
We were proud to help sponsor this initiative from Muziekpublique with our groups AHHA & True Colours (helping LGTB refugees) - Rick & Bart
The Initiative:
The album is released on May 13th 2016 at Muziekpublique (Brussels)!
We have been moved by the recent scenes of migrants arriving in Europe. That’s why we have decided to bring together around twenty musicians who are refugees from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Tibet. We have assembled a group of virtuoso performers from different regions of the world who have put down roots in Belgium and who hope to make their voices heard through their music. Our objective is to reveal talents and cultural treasures that have become virtually invisible in Belgium. These are experienced musicians who have been trained at some of the most prestigious music academies in the Middle East (Damascus, Baghdad, Aleppo) and who have passed through a string of musical centres dotted along the former Silk road.
These talents form the basis of the project that we are launching with them. Together, we aim to develop a project that will help them to find their place and reconstruct their lives in Belgium. Their CD builds bridge between the musicians and the different traditions they represent, in order to produce an album that is rich, innovative and a mark of diversity and cultural exchange

The Academy of Athens is Greece's national academy, and the highest research establishment in the country. It was established in 1926, and operates under the supervision of the Ministry of Education. The Academy's main building is one of the major landmarks of Athens. It is a neoclassical building that was designed as part of an architectural "trilogy" in 1859 by the Danish architect Theophil Hansen, along with the University and the National Library. Funds had been provided by the magnate Simon Sinas specifically for the purpose, and the foundation stone was laid on 2 August 1859. Construction proceeded rapidly, after 1861 under the supervision of Ernst Ziller, but the internal tumults during the latter years of King Otto's reign, which resulted in his ousting in 1862, hampered construction until it was stopped in 1864. Works resumed in 1868, but the building was not completed until 1885, at a total cost of 2,843,319 gold drachmas, most of it provided by Sinas, and, after his death, by his wife Ifigeneia. The sculptures were undertaken by the Greek Leonidas Drosis, while the murals and paintings by the Austrian Christian Griepenkerl. On 20 March 1887, the building of the "Sinaean Academy", as it was called, was delivered by Ziller to the Greek Prime Minister, Charilaos Trikoupis. In the absence of a national Academy, the building was used for housing the Numismatic Museum in 1890, and in 1914 the Byzantine Museum and the State Archives. Finally, on 24 March 1926, the building was handed over to the newly-established Academy of Athens...

This past year I spent a lot of time photographing the Global Education Movement's inspiring new higher education programs. This young woman, who is just beginning the program, came to the a remote refugee camp in Northern Kenya from Somalia as a child without her parents in the care of family friends. She has not seen her family since and expressed to me her wonder and excitement about beginning the degree program.
While she is one of the lucky ones, her story is just one of the almost 200,000 in the camp and one of over 25 million refugees worldwide. My hope is that stories like hers and programs like these inspire others to open doors to refugees rather than build walls.

Long stretches of road between Murmansk and Kirkenes are only to be covered on wheels, without standing still, because of Russian military zones on both sides. Many Syrian refugees cover this stretch, which is a 3 hour drive by car, and some of them do this per bike. This is a photo of a daily accumulation of bikes, left at the door of the Norwegian boarder control. On the other side hundreds more are left in big containers abandoned, with nowhere to go...
The Tampa Bay Times published this photo of a refugee from the Russian invasion of Ukraine reaching the Romanian border. Heaven knows what distress she endured along the way. She has brought just her personal documents but she did not abandon her beloved cat. One hopes that they can both enjoy safety now.
I visited Ukraine three times between 2007-2013, and I have my own blood ties to the country. My grandmother’s family was displaced by the Russian Civil War in 1920, and it is shocking to reflect that Ukraine has been ravaged by war three times within the past century. Nor should Stalin’s depredations of the 1930s be overlooked, when a naturally fertile country was deliberately starved - an act of petty but deadly revenge for Ukraine’s brief independence between 1918 and 1922.
One lasting impression from my visits was the bonds of affection between Ukrainian people and their cats. That is something that is in my DNA, surely inherited from my late Odessa-born grandmother. I salute the brave woman in this photograph for caring about her cat’s well-being in the most harrowing of circumstances.

Six actions for refugee children: Ensuring equal rights and opportunities for all refugee children.
Many Syrian refugees cover the stretch all the way up to Norway, by Kirkenes. I heard yesterday it were 60, but numbers vary between 30-50 per day.
When they dont make it over the boarder before 10PM, which is when the boarder closes, they can get stuck in the stretch of no mans land between Russia and Norway, where they spend the night in these orange, half circular plastic tents.
