African displacements and the search for refuge, in life and art

In this new episode, we are discussing how to support refugees and displaced people, as the UN's refugee agency, UNHCR, reports that more than 120 million are currently forcibly displaced, by war, violence and persecution.

This is an unprecedented high number, described on World Refugee Day (20 June) by the organisation as a "terrible indictment on the state of the world".

We'll see with Aaron Adkins from the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) how to address the needs of the South Sudanese refugees fleeing the war in Sudan.

And with Maribeth Black from the UN's World Food Programme in Mauritania (WFP), we'll hear how, in a different conflict situation, the government has managed to integrate refugees into the country successfully, an example for many in Africa and beyond.

Finally, we'll head to the museum of modern art of Montpellier, the MO.CO, in the south of France, to meet with the French Algerian artist Kader Attia, at his new exhibition, 'Descent into Paradise'.

He has been inspired all his life by his own story of migrations, his travels, and his main theme: how to repair past traumas through art and poetry.
