While most countries have strong disapproval for refugees, we created these posters and stickers to remind the world that they have always made impactful contributions to humanity.

 

Stickers

 

We got the message across to shoppers by pasting it onto consumer goods. If you would like to join the movement, here is a downloadable sticker sheet that can be printed. If you send us a shot of the label on your product, we will repost it on our Facebook page.

Mural

 

To bring even more attention, we installed a mural in Bushwick, Brooklyn. This stopped pedestrians in their track and left them with a new perception.

We assembling the images together using four printed tabloids and a little bit of tape.
