Counterpoints Arts for Refugee Week

We have collaborated with Counterpoints Artsduring Refugee Week 2019. They believe that…

Art can provide a space for people to meet and learn about others – to connect with those who might seem distant or different.

Every thing we do is delivered in collaboration with partners from the field of arts and culture, advocacy, policy, human rights, community based work, activism and education.

As a relatively small team we are committed to the transformative power of collaborative work and the old adage that ‘many hands make light work’.

Refugees and migrants make hugely valuable contributions to our arts, culture and society. They have multiple (counterpointed) perspectives that often combine different languages, geographies and cultural perspectives, resulting in new ways of seeing and questioning.

Migration is as old as the hills. It has shaped ‘who we are’ and ‘who we might become’.

It’s part of our everyday lives – let’s engage with this historical and contemporary richness and keep the migration conversation moving.

And many more that we wholeheartedly uphold…
