The connecting documentary portraits twelve youths from the Baltic Sea region reliving the faith of some of these refugees. The exhibition attracted a lot of media attention, and during the inauguration a panel discussion on migration were held with Swedish ambassador Anders Ljunggren and photographer Alexander Mahmoud among the participants.
