Last year, the UN Refugee Agency revealed that the number of people fleeing violence was the highest recorded since World War II. Many have found their temporary shelter has become a more permanent home, with ongoing conflict preventing their return. Reflecting on what \u2018home\u2019 looks like for those forcibly displaced for years Yasmine Shamma shares poetry that has inspired her while interviewing refugees.<\/span><\/div>\n

Have you ever wondered why we use a \u2018keyboard\u2019 for typing?<\/a>\u00a0What do typewriters without a keyboard look like? Vaibhav Singh takes us on a tour of his collection of vintage typewriters, exploring how we have thought about text and technology, how the keyboard we use today has been one of many alternatives and how the processes and tools for writing have been adapted, modified and challenged.<\/p>\n
