‘Next month, the Migration Museum will be displaying artwork produced by refugees in Calais and across Europe. Yasir* is very unlikely to see his work displayed, Genevieve Roberts explains.’
An interview with one of the contributors to our Call Me by My Name: Stories from Calais and Beyond exhibition.
Call me by my name: stories from Calais and beyond is a ground-breaking multimedia exhibition, to be staged by the Migration Museum Project in London in June, a momentous month that sees both the EU referendum and Refugee Week. It explores the complexity and human stories behind the current migration crisis, with a particular focus on the Calais camp.
‘The Migration Museum Project, which hopes to launch the first museum dedicated to exploring migration to and from the United Kingdom, will open an exhibition this June that highlights the plight of refugees, even incorporating work made by migrants living in the notorious Calais migrant camp that has been dubbed “the Jungle.”‘
