This collection represents a new stage in the Imago Mundi journey: the protagonists of the collection are the artists for whom “journey” means leaving the place where they were born, be it due to war, persecution or other factors, in search of asylum and are welcome elsewhere.

The 264 artists that make up Out of Place live or have lived in 18 different refugee camps across the globe; they are from Africa (Algeria, Burundi, Ethiopia, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, Somalia, Sudan, Uganda), Asia (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Iraq, Jordan, Myanmar, Palestine, Syria, Vietnam), South America (El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Venezuela), and Europe (Ukraine).
