Join us for a presentation of art works by participants inspired by the art classes and local visits, an open drop-in art class and informal conversations.
'Me. You. Them. Everybody' is an art project developed collaboratively with the curator Adi Lerer and the British Red Cross Merseyside. It is a five week art project using art as an enabler for wellbeing and inclusion. Alongside the art classes, the participants visited Tate Liverpool’s Op Art in Focus display and the current Keith Haring exhibition, Walker Art Gallery and central library in Liverpool. This enabled them to experience what the city can offer and give them a sense that they are welcomed. The classes were led by the local artists Ami Zander and Benyamin Roghanchi, and took place at Tate Liverpool Clore Studio.
This art project is part of our SNAP programme which is a Big Lottery Funded Partnership with Asylum Link Merseyside, British Red Cross and Refugee Action working together to support asylum seekers across Liverpool City Region. The programme aims to improve outcomes for people seeking refugee protection by improving the support they receive to access entitlements, empowering them with the knowledge and confidence to improve their lives and supporting integration into host communities.
