‘The Migration Museum Project, which hopes to launch the first museum dedicated to exploring migration to and from the United Kingdom, will open an exhibition this June that highlights the plight of refugees, even incorporating work made by migrants living in the notorious Calais migrant camp that has been dubbed “the Jungle.”‘
Hendy is originally from Malaysia. He lives in a small flat with eight other workers. He has never seen his baby girl. He communicates with his family in Malaysia via Facebook. As he had to renounce Malaysian citizenship, he is unable even to go back. His life is suspended.
The Migration Museum has raised more than £5,000 through crowdfunding towards its upcoming refugee crisis exhibition, which will open in June.
‘Museums have been urged “to do migration differently” by addressing contemporary issues and avoiding clichés.’
