Displacement takes many forms, from refugees forced into exile to returnees who find themselves strangers in what was once home. In this episode, we speak to aid workers about the very different experiences of refugees in Sudan and Mauritania, and hear from an artist who draws inspiration from his own migrations between France, Algeria and beyond.

According to the UN's refugee agency, UNHCR, more than 120 million people are forcibly displaced today by war, violence and persecution.
