Refugiados, Bronze and concrete memorial sculptures in Justicia, Spain.
Refugiados is a sculpture group made of bronze and concrete, featuring human figures displayed in public space within Justicia. The works use abstract forms to convey the movement and experience of displaced people.
The memorial was created by Brazilian artist Bel Borba as part of a public art initiative. Its creation reflects growing awareness of refugee challenges in contemporary society.
The memorial addresses displacement and refuge as a global phenomenon that visitors encounter directly within the urban fabric. It functions as a public statement, showing how artistic monuments can integrate into everyday spaces.
The sculptures are located along a pedestrian walkway with an information plaque inscribed with 'MADRID A LOS REFUGIADOS'. Visitors should allow time to examine each figure closely and view the installation from different angles.
The juxtaposition of bronze and concrete in the work creates visual tension that deliberately oscillates between permanence and impermanence. This material contrast subtly emphasizes the complexity of displacement and homelessness.
