Description

From 19 February to 20 March 2022, the World Press Photo Foundation and Novi Sad European Capital of Culture presented a selection of stories of migration and forced displacement from the 21st century, awarded in the World Press Photo contests from 2000 to 2021. The exhibition has since been on display at the MMAG Foundation in Amman, Jordan, in collaboration with the Netherlands Embassy in Jordan, from 16 October to 10 November 2023.

In 2021, there were 281 million migrants in the world. That is 128 million more than in 1990, and over three times the estimated number in 1970, according to figures from the International Organization for Migration (IOM). Clearly, migration and forced displacement rank high among the most significant issues facing the world today.

The UNHCR defines ‘forced displacement’ as people displaced ‘as a result of persecution, conflict, generalized violence or human rights violations.’ People may also be driven from their homes by natural disasters and by poverty. ‘(Un)Settled – Migration stories in the 21st century’ explores the different motivations people have for embarking on often dangerous journeys to seek safety or a better life.
