Lifting the Lid on Immigration Detention
Event Information
Description
Join us as we lift the lid on the lived experiences of those who have seen UK immigration detention up close.
We’re joining forces with our friends at Ice and Fire to bring a live stream of their Detention Dialogues theatre event to your sofa! These are important stories that need to be shared, and we hope you’ll join us.
As an ice cream company with a strong history of standing up for our values, we love justice and equality almost as much as we love cookie dough and caramel swirls. And the more we learn about the very flawed system of immigration detention in the UK, the more we want to shout about it. But we know that the people who can say it best are those who have experienced detention themselves. This is where Ice and Fire come in — their documentary theatre performances are a chance for you to hear first-hand accounts from those who have experienced immigration detention centres.
We'll also be joined by our friends and experts Freed Voices and Detention Action to help answer your questions following the performance.
You don’t need to have any prior knowledge to join this event — just an internet connection! — but if you did want to do a bit of background reading, check out our introduction to immigration detention here.
Tickets to this event are FREE, but they won’t last long. Sign up for yours today!
Please note: Zoom details will be sent to you via email on the day of the event.
