‘Crossings’: a new display on migration.
Join us for a BSL tour of a new collection of artworks reflecting on migrant experiences at the Queen’s House, exploring the role of tangible and intangible borders in the story of migration.
Today in the UK, the subject of migration is highly politicised.
We’re bombarded with slogans like ‘Stop the Boats’, ‘Island of Strangers’ and ‘Take Back Control’, 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.
What about the lived experience of migrants themselves? This is something we’re actively seeking to address in ‘Crossings’, a new selection of 11 works now on display at the Queen’s House.
Please note, this tour is designed for D/deaf people who are BSL users. There is no English voiceover.
