Forced to Flee Exhibit

SAQA (Studio Art Quilt Associates) put out a global call for artists to submit fiber art on the subject of refugees and fleeing their current situations.

Throughout history people have been forced to flee from their homes for their own safety and survival due to war, oppression, natural disasters, and atrocious human rights violations. The refugee crisis has imposed severe impacts on the social, economic, and political structures of host countries, especially poor and developing countries. This powerful and timely exhibition illustrates the global challenges arising from the current refugee crisis impacting countries across the globe.

This is a stunning, thought provoking exhibit from artists around the globe.
