Migration Lates: Refugee Week 2019

TheMigration Museum Projectis creating a dedicated Migration Museum to tell the story of movement into and out of the UK in a fresh and engaging way. In our temporary space at The Workshop we address the topical issue of migration with an adventurous set of exhibits, events and programmes designed to shed light on the lively part that migration – into and out of the country – has played and is playing in our national life.

The Migration Museum Project

Join us for a special Refugee Week late opening featuring storytelling, performances, music, food and more.
This will be a free event, with different activities taking place throughout the evening in our café space.
The schedule for the evening is as follows:
6:30pm: A dance workshop by the Hawiyya Dance Company, a women’s dabke group who explore identity, culture and resistance through dance. Limited spaces available given on a first come first served basis
7:30pm: A story-telling performance by <A HREF="http://www.qisetna.com/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Qisetna</A>, a non-political platform for Syrians and the people who have a close connection, preserving the cultural and oral heritage of Syria, from food to aspirations to treasured places.
9pm onwards: Yamen Makdad, a Syrian sound artist, will be playing records throughout the evening from his collection, which spans across folk from around the world to jazz, field recordings, experimental and electronic music.
Throughout the evening you'll have the opportunity to purchase Lebanese food by <A HREF="https://www.migrateful.org/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Migrateful</A> chef Ahmad. Migrateful is a charity which helps refugees, asylum seekers and migrants to gain skills through cookery. Your purchase will subsidise meals for refugee and asylum-seeking guests attending.
