The French Teach: when art schools reach out to refugee students

French art schools have a long tradition of welcoming artists in exile. In recent years, they have been no exception to this rule. All over France, teachers and universities are mobilizing their networks to welcome artists from all parts of the world, so that they can continue their artistic reflection despite the upheavals in their countries of origin. What are the experiences of refugee students at French art schools? And what is the impact on their art and the art of those who meet them?
