Graffiti & street art
The drama of migrants and refugees in the French artist's latest project.

JR (Paris, 1983) is considered one of the most important street artists of

the last 20 years, famous throughout the world for his projects that

combine photography, public art, and social commitment. The problems of

migrants and refugees, which are becoming increasingly hot topics, have long

been part of JR's investigation. With the Déplacé·e·s project, launched in 2022

and presented for the first time in this exhibition, the artist has travelled to crisis zones ranging from war-torn Ukraine to the refugee camps of Mugombwa in

Rwanda, Mbera in Mauritania, Cucuta in Colombia, and Lesvos in Greece. His

aim is inviting reflection on the harsh conditions in which thousands of people

find themselves today due to conflicts, wars, famine, and climate change, also

engaging audiences excluded from the artistic and cultural circuit. Valeriia,

Thierry, Kevine, Andiara, Angel, Jamal, Ajara, Mozhda, Moise are the names

of the children who embody forced migrations. By enlarging their portraits on

huge banners, JR gives back an identity to those who are deprived of it. Edited

on the occasion of the exhibition in Turin gathering for the first time these

portraits, Déplacé·e·s features a previously unpublished interview by Arturo

Galansino and Stéphane Malfettes with JR.
