migration & exile
The world is fast becoming a space where millions of
people are either forced to migrate to seek work that is not available
in their regions or into exile for their political views.
They are refugees on the run or landless peasants flocking
to the cities to eke out a living in the factories of the emerging global
economies. Through their resilience, they manage
to retain their dignity against tremendous odds.
