"Déplacé·e·s" is a series of artworks and installations about the millions of children displaced around the world due to persecution, war, climate disasters, and human rights violations. Behind the exhibition stands French artist, JR, who has been creating art in public spaces for over 20 years, constantly asking: can art change the world?

JR's art combines photography, public art, and social engagement in large-scale works. The exhibition marks JR's first solo exhibition in the Nordic region.

Déplacé·e·s is a series of images depicting the millions of children displaced around the world. For each image, JR and his team travelled to places where families sought refuge due to war and climate disasters, including Ukraine, Rwanda, Mauritania, Colombia, and Greece. With the help of the local community in each location, they unfurled an image of a refugee child on a 45-meter-long banner.
