Illustrating stories of refugees / I am a Refugee

Year: 2015-2016
Type: illustration of 12 stories, digital prints, various dimensions

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.
Stories were published weekly in online and print edition of Delo (newspaper in Slovene language) under the title ‘Begunec sem (I am a refugee)’ from January till April 2016.
