"Displaced: A Journey of Resilience and Hope" In the early 20th century, Fridtjof Nansen, a renowned Norwegian explorer and scientist, embarked on a mission to alleviate the suffering of those affected by war. Inspired by his humanitarian efforts during World War I, the Belgian & Allies Aid League created a powerful poster urging support for displaced individuals. Amidst this chaos, nature's creatures also faced displacement. The Bewick/Red Squirrel became symbolic of resilience as it adapted to new environments in search of safety and stability. The haunting image of Belgians fleeing from Termonde in 1914 serves as a stark reminder of the devastating impact war has on innocent lives. Despite their hardships, these brave souls clung onto hope for a better future. Fast forward to more recent times; we witness Moroccan civilians undertaking the Green March - an act that symbolized unity and determination amidst political turmoil. Their courage echoes through history. Military badges worn with pride represent not only duty but also sacrifice. These symbols remind us that even those who fight for our freedom can find themselves displaced from their homes and loved ones. "No Shelter" captures the desperation felt by countless individuals forced into homelessness due to various circumstances beyond their control, and is a call for compassion and understanding towards those seeking refuge. The Royal Air Force de Havilland Mosquito NF Mk. XV represents both destruction and salvation. This aircraft played a vital role in evacuating people from war-torn areas while simultaneously carrying out military operations against oppressors. Circassians drilling showcases how communities come together during displacement; they find strength in unity despite being uprooted from familiar surroundings. Lastly, "Homeless. " depicts colorful lithographs portraying destitution experienced by many throughout history. It reminds us that no one should be left behind or forgotten when addressing issues related to displacement.
