This exhibition explores the reality of refugees worldwide, using clothing as a deeply personal and symbolic lens. It aims to foster empathy and break down stereotypes by showcasing the cultural richness of those forced to flee their homes.
The exhibition 'Huir con lo puesto' (Fleeing with what you're wearing) sensitizes and brings the reality of refugees closer to the public, seeking to break stereotypes and foster empathy through a meaningful, personal, and symbolic approach: clothing. The purpose is to give visibility to the millions of refugees globally who have been forced to abandon their countries to protect themselves and their families. This initiative highlights the cultural richness of individuals compelled to leave their homelands. Guided by an inclusive perspective, it emphasizes cultural diversity, age, gender, and varying situations of vulnerability. The core of the exhibition comprises garments and accessories inspired by the testimonies of refugees, facilitating a deeply personal dialogue with visitors. The narrative is further supported by individual accounts, audiovisual materials, infographics, graphics, and photographs, exploring the different stages of their condition, from the moment of flight to their arrival in the host country.
