See the enormous French migrant camp known as the Jungle through the eyes of the people who live there.

‘A new exhibition on the quiet resilience of the people stuck in that Anglo-French limbo – Call Me By My Name, which recently opened at the Londonewcastle Project Space in Shoreditch, east London – highlights again the way in which inflammatory abstractions (“Immigration chaos!”; “Take back control!”) can trounce ordinary human responses.’

‘Images of people living in make-shift shelters, mud and squalor, have exposed the world to the living conditions in Calais’s refugee camp, known as “the Jungle”. But despite intense media coverage over the past year, it can be hard for outsiders to gain a true perspective on life in the camp, which has become a town in its own right.

For this reason, architect Shahed Saleem embarked on a project to map the Jungle… The finished work is being shown in London, as part of a wider exhibition by the Migration Museum Project on the refugee crisis in Europe running through June 22.’

Migration is a hot news topic, currently playing a big part in determining whether people vote to remain or leave the EU. Call me by my name in Shoreditch has arrived to remind us that these migrants are all human beings, with individual stories to tell.

The Migration Museum Project – which is campaigning for a British museum to celebrate the diversity of migration- has put on an amazing exhibition on life at the Calais Jungle that is both uplifting and harrowing at the same time. Go see it if you can.

‘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.

Call Me by My Name featured in the Royal Academy’s pick of the week’s art events.

‘A London exhibition featuring the stories of refugees who live in the infamous “Jungle” camp in Calais, in northern France, opened its doors to visitors Thursday. The Call me by my name exhibition organized by the Migration Museum Project aims to raise awareness on refugees and the individual stories behind the refugee crisis.’

‘A new exhibition displays work from those camping in Calais, volunteers and emerging artists, forcing us to reconsider both the diluted identities of migrants, and our own high-brow preconceptions of art.’

‘Next month, the Migration Museum will be displaying artwork produced by refugees in Calais and across Europe. Yasir* is very unlikely to see his work displayed, Genevieve Roberts explains.’

‘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’
