An art installation titled ‘The Inflatable Refugee’ has ‘floated’ into the Yarrah River in Melbourne. Creators at the Belgian Art Collective Schellekens and Peleman say their five metre tall ‘refugee’ is made from the same material used to make the rafts that carry human traffickers as they cross the Mediterranean Sea. A ‘symbol of the dehumanisation of the refugee and the current refugee crisis happening in the world’, the ‘refugee’ was created by the artists to represent how the Western world perceives refugees.
