there is beauty in this journey
There is Beauty in this Journey is D6’s major programme that seeks to redress the sensationalism and bias around migration stories, aspiring towards a shared, rich and responsive exploration of our cities and neighbourhoods.
From 2019 until 2022, our programme aims to reclaim the positive and too often concealed narratives around migration, diversity and cultural heritage. These are narratives and experiences are inextricably connected and complex but increasingly used to divide neighbours, communities and regions. We will draw out both the known and unknown historical and contemporary constructs that lead to misrepresentation and misinformation.
Through a high-quality programme of artist-led engagement within our city, across the UK and internationally, D6 will support the research, development and exchange of ideas. We will find new opportunities for cross-sector collaboration and shared learning. We will curate and facilitate platforms for engagement that resonate with national and international annual events including Refugee Week and the United Nations Observance, International Migrants Day.
There is Beauty in this Journey will serve as a platform for new processes, practice and partnerships to grow in times of extraordinary political change and transition.
