The Other Refuge Exhibition Launch and Artist Talk
About this Event
The launch will be followed by a conversation with our featured artists as they explore how photography captures creative and personal journeys across borders and toward home, moderated by LAAF's Creative Producer Toufik Douib.
The Other Refuge reflects on the notion of belonging through the eclectic perspectives of UK-based artists of Arab origin (from Sudan, Syria, and Yemen) who have experienced displacement. Their work serves as both a celebration of culture and a tribute to their respective communities. The exhibition is an open invitation to explore what 'home' means: whether rooted in place and territory, carried through family and cultural heritage, or shaped by memory, movement, and lived geographies. Featuring artists Fuad Al-Gaadi, Nasma Aljizawi, and Omer Al Tigani
