The Refugee Ship by Jens Galschiøt

The Refugee Ship  - 2010


The Refugee Ship is a floating art installation featuring 70 copper sculptures of refugees aboard the old Danish fishing cutter M/S Anton.


This remarkable ship has traveled through numerous cities in Denmark and Germany in collaboration with "Levende Hav." The project is supported by Danida.


The refugee ship was in Documenta14 in Kassel at June 8th-14th, 2017. Here Galschiøt and the German NGO ‘Outlaw’,  made an unofficial event at the art exhibition with the refugee ship M/S Stint.
