belonging
18 December 2023
D6 and partners join with people around the world to mark International Migrants Day. Together we celebrate the diversity of migrant communities worldwide and reaffirm the importance of upholding the rights and dignity of all migrants and refugees.
Our new virtual exhibition Belonging features the work of 11 artists whose practice has been disrupted by forced migration. A driving force for this collaboration is our belief that everyone should have the right to freely participate in the cultural life of the community, as set out in Article 27 of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights.
The curator Shirin Zeraaty says: “At the heart of the programme has been the chance to learn from artists who have adapted to new environments and found ways to pursue their artistic practice, despite huge challenges. This is a chance to remember that artists are individuals with diverse perspectives. I hope that people will engage with the artworks beyond preconceived notions."
Belonging is part of Artists Connecting in Transition (ACT) - an international collaboration between artists in exile and studio spaces that support them.
We invite you to visit the exhibition by clicking on the link below and you can read the digital catalogue here.
