About the exhibition
Trace the precarious journeys of refugees as they navigate the perils of land, sea and a deadly human landscape riven by geopolitical failure on an unprecedented scale.
This installation responds to three perilous spaces that refugees must navigate: the sea, the national border and the camp.
Featuring original music composed by Brian Eno, a soundscape of voices, the throb of tides, motorways and the human heart, visitors will be invited to interact with three short films activated by movement.
Refreshments will be available with a suggested donation to charity.
