REFUGE: Codifying Refugee Participation

REFUGE draws together participatory approaches to forced displacement in UK Galleries, Museums, Academia and Activism. Stemming from AHRC-funded research from the University of Sussex, it explores how civic and cultural institutions can foster meaningful participation, voice, and recognition in a context where official support is shrinking. The work includes best practice guidelines, case studies, and resources developed through two national workshops in Manchester and London with cultural professionals, academics, and individuals with lived experience of displacement, project managers, curators, and community engagement teams.
