Abstract

The Za'atari refugee camp was set up on July 28, 2012 in a semi-desert area in the north-west of Jordan, on the border with Syria, to receive the Syrian population fleeing the war. It quickly became a city, the fourth largest in the country by extension, and the second largest refugee camp in the world, hosting a population of 150,000 residents.

Margherita Moscardini

Margherita Moscardini is an Italian artist. She has been studying for some years refugee camps as a city, wondering if it is precisely from the paradoxical space of the camp, rethought from the point of view of the right to the city, that another idea of citizenship finally founded on the condition of exile could be born.
