Conversations from Calais: the posters sharing migrant voices with the world
A poster project aims to re-humanise those affected by the refugee crisis by sharing conversations between migrants and volunteers

The project’s founder says that the posters are a way of bearing witness for the thousands of displaced people stuck in Calais and trying to reach the UK, whose voices are so often silenced or ignored
-
This ever-growing collection of conversations focuses on capturing the diversity of experiences and avoids creating new stereotypes of refugees as villains, heroic figures or hopeless victims
-
By pasting these posters on walls all around the world, the project aims to take over public space, commemorating these voices and inspiring social change
-
The full – and growing – collection can be found and downloaded from www.conversationsfromcalais.com
