Wednesday 22 – Sunday 26 June 2011
The wonderful and unique V&A, the Victoria & Albert Museum of London, will devote some exhibitions and talks to celebrate Refugee Week 2011from next Wednesday, with talks, tours, workshops and performances.
Most events will be free, like the special event 'Asylum Dialogues' on Friday 24 June 2011, 19:00, a live show of music and theatre "celebrating real life acts of solidarity between British people and asylum seekers".
'Asylum Dialogues' is scripted by Sonja Linden and is performed by members of iceandfire's national outreach project, Actors for Human Rights, a network of over 500 professional actors dedicated to drawing public attention to contemporary human rights concerns.
You can also watch traditional dances from refugees’ countries of origin with ‘Dance Around The World’, a community arts organisation which promotes the folk arts and supports cultural exchange. It is on Sunday 26 June 2011, at 13:00.
Or on Saturday 25 June 2011, 13:00, join the Talk from curator Kurt Helfrich for a discussion of architectural spaces designed by European immigrants to Britain.
'Architecture as an Refuge: UK Designs by European Exiles and Emigres during the 1930s' is also part of Refugee Week 2011 at the V&A.
Enjoy!
