Join us for the Refugee Tales: Walking Inquiry Exhibition in Manchester, which brings together the voices and insights of people with lived experience of immigration detention and Volunteer Visitors who provide support to people in detention. The government set up the Public Inquiry in response to a 2017 BBC Panorama programme that used undercover filming to reveal mistreatment at Brook House. This is the IRC where the charity, the 'Gatwick Detainees Welfare Group', supports people who are detained.
The project engaged a unique methodology, building on walking, talking and sharing together, they invited responses in many forms, including testimony, art, letters, video and poetry; the contributions shine a powerful light on the daily realities of immigration detention, and its complex and enduring impacts. Everywhere the exhibition goes, new voices will be added as we listen to each other and learn together about how immigration detention affects us all.
