So have a look at the new edition and let us know what you think! There's also a very helpful guide to the different Refugee Week events happening over the next few days at the back of the newsletter.

Refugee Week Exhibition
In celebration of Refugee Week this year, Invisible Curators will be
holding an exhibition entitled “Home” from the 19th to the 24th of
June in Kirkgate Market.
We will be bringing together artworks from professional artists as
well as from refugees themselves to explore how this notion of “Home”
can help us relate to the experiences of refugees in the UK.
We will present these artworks alongside accurate information about
refugee issues as a means of engaging the general public in thinking
about whether refugees are treated fairly in the UK by the government,
the media and society as a whole.
We will also use the exhibition space to host live music acts and fun
activities to celebrate the passion and creativity that are universal
to all of us, no matter what our background or legal status may be.
If you are interested in contributing your art work, your talent or
your time as a volunteer please email James and Georgina on
invisiblecurators(at)gmail.com.
