WSFM 2014 Opening 9It certainly wasn’t a smooth ride, but I can still say without hesitation that I considered the first day of the World Social Forum on Migration (WSFM) in Johannesburg a rewarding experience.

A more detailed write-up will follow, but for now, here is a Picture Gallery of the excellent cultural performances during the opening day:
