Join us on 17 June to celebrate the launch of our digital exhibition, New Dreams, created in partnership with Migrants Organise.

New Dreams is a digital exhibition in honour of Refugee Week 2021 featuring art, podcasts, short films, and creative writing, created in a series of workshops with Migrants Organise. It is a personal and moving celebration of identity, connection, creativity, activism and voices whose stories are rarely told.

Learn more about the creation of New Dreams through this discussion with the artists behind the work. We will also hear from members of the creative team, Becca Hirst, Maymuna Osman and Francesca Valerio.

Hosted by Yasmin Hafesji of the Gate Theatre and Rachel Hackler of Migrants Organise.

 

This is an online event and you can join us here on Zoom from 7pm.
