The Refugees of the Streets

2023

An urban intervention exploring displacement, visibility, and belonging in public space through stickers on the streets.

The Refugees of the Streets explores overlooked objects and traces within the urban environment, treating them as displaced inhabitants of the city. Through a series of stickers placed in public space, the project draws attention to things that are normally ignored, abandoned, or removed from view.

By shifting how these everyday elements are framed and encountered, the work questions visibility, belonging, and our relationship with the shared urban environment.
