Welcome To The Basket Gallery

For its second year, theBasketGallery is organizing two exhibitions looking into forced displacement- past and present.

More and more people continue to be uprooted from their homes through the world. The causes that force people’s displacement are interconnected through systematic human rights violations.

The year 2023 marks the 100th anniversary of the Lausanne Treaty between Greece and Turkey and the commencement of one of the largest population exchange between two countries. At the same time, 2023 is the year recording the highest ever number of refugees and internally displaced persons globally, since 1945.
