The purpose of the display is to raise awareness of human trafficking to both the public and the aviation sector
Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) is collaborating with ArtWorks for Freedom, a non-profit organisation, to host two art exhibits aimed at spreading awareness of human trafficking.
According to the airport, some studies suggest it has been estimated that human trafficking/forced labour equates to being a $150bn (£108bn) annual industry.
“For many years, we have worked with artists to present diverse, high-quality exhibits that inspire and inform our travellers. This partnership with ArtWorks for Freedom continues our commitment to provide a positive travel experience for our passengers,” said Ricky Smith, executive director of BWI Marshall.

Whether itâs your first trip to Baltimore or your twentieth, the waterfront city is full of surprises, from an alley that honors graffiti artists to watering holes in handsome rowhouses. Perhaps a poem by Kondwani Fidel, used in the cityâs tourism campaign, said it best when it invited visitors to go âBeneath the Shell. The reference, to cracking open the cityâs famous Maryland blue crabs, is a metaphor for discovering Baltimoreâs below-the-surface gems.
