Refugee Week June 2024

We were invited by Claire Pollock, Partnerships Lead at Allford Hall Monaghan Morris Architects, our old friends and supporters, to celebrate Refugee Week together. We spent a beautiful sunny day visiting their White Collar Factory, talking to their architects, sketching the London skyline from the rooftop terrace of the AHMM building, and listening to an inspirational life story from Majeda, who runs Syrian Sunflower Kitchen and made delicious food for us all! Here is a link to a lovely article published about this visit: http://www.newartstudio.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/New-Art-Studio-Visits-Allford-Hall-Monaghan-Morris.pdf

“It was an important day to be with people who care. We don’t just sit there. We also share our knowledge about what we do – it goes both ways.” (Studio member)
