About this event
Thousands of people reach Europe as refugees every year and many die on the way, yet very little is known about why or what those deaths do to the people left behind. This exhibition works through testimony, sound and video installations, poems, maps and a reconstructed shipwreck. A programme of free talks runs alongside it, including a lecture by Bidisha Banerjee on 7 October.
Why we picked it
A serious, research-led exhibition on migrant deaths installed in a sports hall foyer and a public library, where people actually walk past it.
Free entry
