When the sun sets Tuesday night, the Church of the Gesú will light up with photos stretching across the façade telling the story of the journey refugees take to get to a new community.
Jesuit Refugee Service International along with Art Works Projects for Human Rights are commemorating this World Refugee Day with a 3-day digital projection reminding onlookers --from journalists and politicians, cardinals and clergy, to passersby and tourists-- that hospitality is a universal value.
"Sanctuary and sustenance, hospitality in the face of adversity", illustrates the difficulties facing refugees and the resilience they demonstrate during some of the world's greatest crises in 2013. Photojournalists from around the world lent their images to this show with the same goal -- to show us all how hard refugees work to get where they are, and how much they have to contribute to society.
