‘Call Me By My Name: Stories from Calais and Beyond, aims to lend a voice to the thousands of refugees inhabiting the Jungle in Calais, and is possibly the most important exhibition you will see this year – just don’t forget the tissues.’
The Migration Museum Project have opened a new exhibition at the Londonewcastle Project, Shoreditch. It deals with the ‘jungle’ refugee camp in Calais and asks questions about how we view migrants and refugees. The project pushes no specific political agenda but through a mixture of art, photography and storytelling it reminds us that every face is human, every story unique.
Call Me by My Name featured in the Royal Academy’s pick of the week’s art events.
