The Refugee Archive
A Consultation and Involvement Project
Exiled Writers Ink is proud to be the London partner for the national University of Westminster Refugee Archive project.
The story of refugees in England is usually left out of its history. And when it is included, it is rarely told from the perspective of refugees themselves.
What if England had a ‘refugee archive’ – a collection of images, documents, and recordings designed and planned by people with the experience of arriving in England as refugees?
You’re invited to help imagine and plan a refugee archive by participating in one of the activities we have planned.
The project is being led by the University of Westminster in partnership with five different refugee/cultural groups:
- Exiled Writers Ink (London),
- Writing on the Wall/Bridge2 (Liverpool)
- Holocaust Centre North (Huddersfield)
- Ashley Community Housing (Bristol)
- Migrant Voice (Birmingham).
The Refugee Archive is funded by the National Heritage Lottery Fund.
