Presented as part of LIFT 2016, On The Move is a collection of new works, many free, that responds to one of the greatest humanitarian issues of our time.
Featuring artists from Germany, Greece, Italy, Lebanon, Syria and the UK, these stories uncover the stories of people forced to leave their homes.
The work includes a durational piece by Chris Thorpe (Confirmation, BAC) delving into the great British public’s attitude towards migrants and refugees; short plays exploring the impact of the migration crisis in Greece and Italy; a one-on-one experience in conversation with a refugee through a wall; a continually growing installation outside the building; a miniature museum of migrations; a Syrian filmmaker exploring loss, an installation and a promenade audio-tour created between London, Berlin, Beirut and Damascus mapping ideas of exile and belonging in the city.
Many events are free. For a full schedule, please see the show website.
