A programme of co-created poetry, performance and photography projects and community celebrations curated and hosted by people seeking sanctuary in Islington, supporting them to: - tell their stories; experience and contribute to cultural life in London; build new networks; and come together with their new local community to share and celebrate together - promoting understanding, empathy and connection.
‘Your weekly arts and poetry sessions for residents of Islington’s hotels hosting people seeking asylum have offered a vital space for joy, reflection and connection, especially during times of distress and uncertainty. The consistency of your work and the care you show for participants have transformed your sessions, creating a sense of belonging and community. By using creativity to bring people together, you have made a lasting contribution to London’s inclusive spirit.’
