“The West kills Africa”, on a wall of the migrant shelter managed by French humanitarian associations in Briançon (France), July 2020.

In the Briançon’s shelter, the living room’s wall are covered with messages and drawings – in many shapes, sizes, and languages – left by migrants, to say something about themselves and their stories, to try to get connected with each other, to just celebrate a safe stay after a perilous journey along alpine trails. Some of these messages are also political claims, to express frustration, discontent, awareness.
