Migration
summary
Compares design and digital tools for affluent “digital nomads” (packable safety net, omnipresent community, Casita tiny homes) with refugee realities: IKEA refugee shelter is collapsible, weatherproof and has electricity while many refugees arrive with 1 bag only; a 17‑year‑old keeps face‑whitening cream and gel to avoid being marked as a refugee, a 34‑year‑old pharmacist carries wrapped cash, and camps force an underground economy (reselling, small trades) even as some run radios from cybercafés and phones.
