What does it mean to be “home”?

An exhibition with an interactive and homely layout that discusses the ideas of what it means to be at home and to lose such security, as well as moving to a new home, and the items that are brought on the journey. Home Is… will reflect what it means to be a refugee within the UK, highlighting media representations interspersed with personal narratives that detail the journey made by those forced to leave their home. On display will be photographs, refugee narratives, Syrian children's drawings and the United Nations’ Against All Odds video game.

Opening times:

Monday 12:00 - 21:00 Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday 09:00 - 21:00 Friday 0900 - 12:00

You are invited to join us at our launch event which will officially begin our Refugee Week programme, and will include opening speeches and refreshments. This will take place Monday 19 June from 17:00.
