British Library | Free | Drop-in | Everyone is welcome

Celebrate Refugee Week at the British Library in this creative workshop inspired by journeys from home.

Join Art Refuge artists Aida Silvestri and Bobby Lloyd for a multi-generational art and making workshop at The Community Table. Be inspired by maps from our collection, as well as your own lived experience of travelling, routes and journeys, using postcards to share, create and connect as a community.

Presented in partnership with Counterpoints Arts and Art Refuge, as part of London Refugee Week.
