A month-long celebration of refugee arts and culture has started as part of National Refugee Week.
Festival 31 has launched this week and offers a series of unique and thought-provoking art commissions and events exploring the refugee experience.
Organised by Liverpool-based charity SOLA Arts, the festival has been taking place in the city since 2014.
As part of Festival 31, nine commissioned artists will see their work exhibited on the Culture Liverpool website, which is partnering with SOLA Arts and the Liverpool Everyman and Playhouse to co-ordinate this year’s festival and showcase the creativity and cultures of both our refugee communities, and artists from refugee backgrounds.
Artists were able to bid for micro-grants funded by Culture Liverpool, Our Liverpool, Liverpool City Council’s refugee and asylum seeker service, and the estate of artist Fanchon Fröhlich who studied and lived in Liverpool.
The commissioned artists have responded to the theme of “Creative Connections” and what the number 31 can be, maybe 31 days, 31 hours, 31 people, 31 countries, 31 questions…
