Outdoor interactive exhibit on refugees coming to Salt Lake City

An outdoor exhibition, guided tour and virtual reality experience will bring Utahns up close with the global refugee crisis next week and what those people face as they are forced to flee their homes, sometimes on a moment’s notice.

Doctors Without Borders is bringing its “Forced From Home” experience to Salt Lake City’s Library Square Sept. 19 – 24 in a free interactive exhibit.

An unprecedented 65.6 million people have been displaced worldwide, many of them refugees and asylum seekers, who are further endangered by the denial of protections and the freedom of movement to which they are entitled, according to Doctors Without Borders.
