Temple of Refuge

More about the book

In this science fiction story, Tempelhof Airport becomes the center of the world, a refuge for those who have nowhere else to go. Thanks to the young Sartep, who finds a way to make the wishes and dreams of the residents of Tempelhof come true, a new city, a new community, and a better life for all quickly emerge. This comic, which is wordless, was created under the guidance of the Berlin Society of New Auftraggeber in close collaboration with the residents of the refugee accommodation at Tempelhof Airport. One of them, the young Iraqi Kurd Sartep Namiq, took the initiative on behalf of many others and commissioned this story, which was vividly illustrated by Felix Mertikat.
