Visa pour l'image, international photojournalism festival, in Perpignan, 2022 edition.
Of numerous exhibitions in places that have become legendary, the Couvent des Minimes, the Dominican Church, the Palais des Corts, the Hotel Pams etc..
We see all the horrors of the world and we come away shaken.
Of increasingly concerned by the plight of refugees around the world, France and in our region, very close to us, I was particularly sensitive to the exhibition of Sameer Al-Doumy that I had the chance to meet a Syrian photographer in Perpignan, winner of the Visa International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) Humanitarian Gold Award 2022, for his report produced between August 2020 and May 2022 which highlights shed light on the migration crisis in northern France. After years transit through countless countries, many migrants who have fled war or natural disasters find themselves in Calais. They then spend weeks in makeshift camps on the coast French, hoping to be able to reach their final destination, the United Kingdom.
Sameer does not forget that he himself lived the life of a refugee.
