It cannot be overstated how important it is, not just for refugees/people on the move but for everyone in the UK, that we come together to stand up to this bill

Really thought-provoking & wide-ranging talk by @IsmailEinashe on how media can engage with arts to help refugees tell stories on their own terms without falling back on hackneyed tropes. I’m excited to read more of his work. What an exciting voice! @migration_team @InsideNatGeo

A story that haunts me from @Becoming_Adult was an unaccompanied minor who had a brace fitted while in UK. When deported to Afghanistan at 18, he couldn’t get it removed & it distorted his teeth. It was so painful tried to chip it off with a stone @KarrieFransman @migration_team

So Amazing!!! Check out this playlist of music of Syrian exile from @diduhabash and @newhumanitarian!! Inspired by our discussion with @Dr_Ammar_Azzouz & @AbirTobji @SOAS last term! 👇👇👇🎶🎶
We asked ethnomusicologist and cool person @diduhabash to make what I believe is @newhumanitarian's first-ever playlist and she said yes! CC @Dr_Ammar_Azzouz @AbirTobji @lhammondsoas whose brilliant conversation @SOAS on art, Syria, and exile got this ball rolling...
