Image caption: Untitled, painting by Abdullah Rahmani, 2020. Reproduced with the permission of the artist. Alt-text: Painting of a group of migrants disembarking a raft in the ocean, in waist deep water close to shore. The sky is paiting with sunset colours and cloud, in the foreground is a very young man with a tyre intertube around his neck and one shoulder, walking towards us. Behind him is another man in an orange life best, and a group of people still in the raft.
