You can gain insight into the lived experiences of London-based refugees and asylum seekers in relation to the themes of cultural sustainability and community resilience. At the tour, you will have the opportunity to engage with the Project Lead and fellow visitors to understand the reciprocal process of making and learning – through fashion and textiles – that brought this project to life.
