Our ‘Echoes of Belonging’ exhibition only has a couple of weekes to run. If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s definitely worth a visit! The exhibition celebrates the talents of Muslim members of our community, and others in the Refugee and Asylum Seeker community who are frequently affected by Islamophobia regardless of personal belief.
The work was created as part of Photo Weston in collaboration with internationally recognised photographer Michal Iwanowski, following his recent ‘Go Home, Polish’ photographic project.
The exhibition can be viewed Mon to Fri, 12pm to 5pm.
