Fragments of another
life
When people flee their homes and homelands because of
persecution, they are often lucky to escape with their lives
- and precious little else.
In this exhibition,
photographer Rhonda Klevansky portrays 50 per recent
arrivals to the United Kingdom with few mementoes of their
previous lives that they did manage to salvage, and digital
artist Birgit Muller presents the situation asylum seekers
find themselves in while waiting for a Home Office decision. |
