Summit 2025 - Echoes of Migration

Not just a conference, this event is a cultural statement, and the beginning of an impactful and sector defining cultural programme.

The Summit is taking place at London’s prestigious Royal Society of Arts (RSA), on the 10th of October 2025. Bringing together over 20 leading voices from the art world and beyond, the one-day event will explore the intersections of migration, identity, and contemporary creativity. Far more than a traditional conference, Echoes of Migration is a cultural catalyst. It brings together artists, curators, cultural leaders, philanthropists, and educators to co-create a platform for dialogue, imagination, and systemic change, centering migrant voices as powerful agents of creativity, care, and cultural connection.

Through a rich programme of panel discussions, live performances, and networking opportunities, the Summit will create a space for dialogue, reflection, and collaboration between the arts, philanthropy, and wider society.

The Echoes of Migration summit officially inaugurates Art Voyage CIC’s journey of innovation and international programme, setting the stage for our first biennial in 2027.

This event is made possible through crowdfunding, donations and the support of Institutions. If you’d like to contribute further, your support will directly help amplify migrant voices and bring this cultural programme to life. This project is not simply a singular summit, it encompasses a permanent art installation and supports artists. Any and all donations will directly help support these endeavors.
