Call me by my name: stories from Calais and beyond is a ground-breaking multimedia exhibition, to be staged by the Migration Museum Project in London in June, a momentous month that sees both the EU referendum and Refugee Week. It explores the complexity and human stories behind the current migration crisis, with a particular focus on the Calais camp.
‘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.
