There is aphenomena that we have dealt with or not, acknowledged that they exist or not, thought good or bad about them, loathed them or feared them - it doesn't matter. This exist, so they exist. Our attitude and our opinion about the appearance itself in this case does not change anything in reality - we do not ask ourselves, the process exists and flows, whether we admit it or not! We are talking about migrations, which, undoubtedly and factually irrefutable, have existed since the beginning of time, and marked the time at the turn of two centuries, and continue and mark the XXI century as well. They flow and change the world.

Today, refugees and migrants from the Middle East and North Africa are on the road. Escalation of conflicts in this part of the world, terror, poverty and lack of perspective caused mass migrations and waves of refugees directed towards the countries of Europe. On that way, the Balkans is an unavoidable path to the final destination.

As a kind of depot, a museum of the life stories of people on the move and everything that their human being writes and leaves behind has not yet been created, all that remains is for us to preserve, observe, record, disclose these traces and thus be companions to the refugees and migrants who, undoubtedly, pass by and through our lives. The new, digital, computer age has enabled us to record this material of human history electronically and send it to the world in the form of billions of different indelible traces, signs that will never disappear or be forgotten.

The "Game" exhibition tried to record as many such traces as possible that migration, i.e. people - refugees and migrants left behind during the last year and this year in three reception, asylum and transit centers in Vojvodina, Šid, Subotica and Sombor. To support a future common digital world museum of migration, we present you an online gallery of works created at the occupation workshops.

Explore every corner of this exhibition, admission is free.

The project "Protection support and humanitarian aid to people on the move" is implemented by the Ecumenical Humanitarian Organization with the financial support of HEKS/EPER from Switzerland.
