Today in the UK, the subject of migration is highly politicised.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We’re bombarded with slogans like \u2018Stop the Boats\u2019, \u2018Island of Strangers\u2019 and \u2018Take Back Control\u2019, which reduce migrants to mere numbers and strip them of their humanity. In the process, we lose sight of migrants as mothers and fathers, daughters and sons, sisters and brothers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What about the lived experience of migrants themselves? This is something we\u2019re actively seeking to address in \u2018Crossings\u2019, a new selection of 11 works now on display at the Queen’s House<\/a>.<\/p>\n ‘Crossings’ aims to centre migrant voices, and includes pieces from the existing collection which have never been displayed before as well as three exciting new acquisitions. The display is divided across two rooms: one speaking primarily to the process of maritime migration, and the other to its aftermath.<\/p>\n This content is hosted by a third party<\/p>\n Please allow all cookies to watch the video.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Manage cookie preferences<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Crossing Border by the Kurdish mixed media artist Shorsh Saleh is one of the newly acquired works on display.
