Blue bridges

An artistic statement on World Refugee Day.

For World Refugee Day on June 20, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees engaged Swiss light artist Gerry Hofstetter to bathe four well-known Swiss bridges in blue light.

The colour of peace is intended to highlight solidarity with refugees and displaced people, and act as a reminder that there are still 20 million people around the world fleeing violence and persecution.
