day 17 - "7 street artists who are tackling the refugee crisis through their work"

​Margo Gothelf published this article 2 years ago in the website Konbini.    Several of the works are familiar, such as Banksy’s painting of Steve Jobs as a refugee (whose birth father was Syrian-American) or Ai Wei Wei’s “Reframe.”   Two of my favorites are the photograph of immigrants from Ellis Island put up on a building wall by the French artist JR, and another by the Iranian artists and brothers known as “Icy and Sot” of a young boy carrying brick size legos amidst the rubble of a bombed out building.
