‘With the EU referendum looming and the polarising issue of immigration taking centre stage in the debate, a new multimedia exhibition will explore the human faces behind the migration crisis.’

‘One refugee, whose photos feature in the exhibition, arrived in Calais from Eritrea in October last year. “We crossed through the Sahara, Libya, Italy, France. It was a very difficult situation. It was winter also, daily rain. The situation was very harsh. Maybe the exhibition will explain to some people what is happening, what the situation is like in Calais. We are just asking for freedom.”‘

‘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.

‘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.”‘

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.’

‘It is fair to say that Ireland’s relationship with Britain can come under the umbrella of “complicated” – and what better way to explore it than look at the migration of the Irish into Britain over the 20th century.’

‘An exhibition of artworks by Huguenot refugees sheds light on the history of cross-Channel migration, writes Boyd Tonkin’

‘Paris has one. New York has one. Could an immigration museum combat the widespread ignorance surrounding this centuries-old issue?’

‘The latest stage in a project that aims to challenge popular perceptions of immigration and emigration in Britain got under way in Edinburgh yesterday with the opening of an exhibition featuring Germans and their lives in Scotland.’

The Irish boosted Scotland’s shipyards with manpower, the Italians brought their restaurants and Asians set up the corner-shop culture. Yet it is the Germans who will be in the spotlight at a migration exhibition in Edinburgh.
