People Move.
Down the road, to another city, and sometimes to a new country. We move for family, love, work or study; sometimes because we want to, sometimes because we have no other choice.
But here in the UK politicians have built a system that makes it impossible for migrants and refugees to build a life and frequently punishes people for even trying.
We all want to build our lives, free from violence and insecurity, and filled with friends, family and cherished community.
UK immigration policy currently relies on dehumanising people who move. But we are not defined by our immigration status.
We want to go beyond labels. That's why, this Refugee Week we are creating space to celebrate the work, talents and stories of some of the people we work with.
This is a critical time to stand up for migrants' rights. Please enjoy our exhibition, and join us to stay up to date on ways you can speak out with migrants.
