Arts and Culture event to celebrate the positive contribution made by refugees to the culture, history and heritage of the UK

This is an arts and culture event, with 4 acts across the evening. The main theme of the evening is celebrating the positive contribution refugees have made to the culture history and heritage of the UK.

Tracey Zengeni is Zimbabwean artist who is bringing several pieces of her art to show and talk about, in addition to some acapella . Raj Govindarajah is a Sri Lankan film maker who has made a film about his friends experience of fleeing Sri Lanka and becoming a refugee in Britain. Aidan Jolly and Sai Murray are a musician and poet respectively, who have worked with many refugee and migrant groups.

There will also be a ‘Cakes of the World’ section, where desserts from common refugee origin countries will be available for attendees, and they can guess where the desserts originate.

In addition, there will be an ancestor mapping activity to plot the journeys of attendees relations throughout history.

The event is open to all, with free drinks tokens available to the first 100 people. It would be preferable if attendees could RSVP to: Jhughes@redcross.org.uk.
