I resume this tenth season with Sebastiáo Salgado's EXODUS, a timely and urgent book which has the power remind us that we are all, in one way or another, migrants. Salgado travelled to more than 35 countries in order to document displacement, firsthand, travelling along with each of the populations he documented. This massive volume rhymes with my own words in which I declare I am Migrant. With text, Salgado's images and poetry, I invite you, dear listener, to witness the inequity, the obvious neglect that human beings on the move navigate. Migrants have been the subjects of abuses and injustices which have continued to escalate since last year and into 2026, regardless of the color of their skin, their nationality, their identity, even their tender age, or gender. Salgado asserted, as he concluded his opus: "We hold the key to humanity's future, but for that, we must understand the present. We cannot afford to look away."
