We’re very excited that our exhibition “You can see me, but I don’t exist,” will be part of the Brighton Photo Fringe this year. The Arts Council sponsored exhibition features portraits of asylum seekers by Alan Gignoux paired with their poetry. Curated by Jenny Christensson, the exhibition toured in libraries across the UK during Refugee Week 2023.
We provided participating libraries with a free copy of the exhibition-in-a-book, which is designed to be adaptable to different venues. To learn more about the project and our work with the refugee organisations, please go to the project page.
From the outset we hoped this exhibition would help to build bridges between UK communities and people seeking refuge in our country. For this reason, we’re particularly happy to support the Fringe’s theme this year: Common Ground.
Please come to see us at WRAP Studios
4th October – 17th November
Private View: Friday, October 11th 6 – 9pm
83 Queens Road, Brighton, BN1 3XE
Alternatively, if you can’t make it to the venue, you can view the exhibition online here
