NETWORK NOTES

[1] We continue drawing attention to Sunday Lawrence's appeal for support. Lawrence is a refugee from South Sudan and a second year Law student at the International University of East Africa in Kampala, Uganda. He needs to raise €5,256 for tuition and sustenance. So far, he has raised €3,707 and needs to raise the remaining €1,549. Perhaps you can spare Lawrence a fiver (€5)?

[2] In June, in light of how June 20 is World Refugee Day and June 17-23 is Refugee Week, Forced Migration and The Arts will be hosting an indaba every week for the duration of the month. The conversations/indabas will take place on Thursday, June 6, 13, 20 and 27 between 2pm and 7.30pm UK time. If you are a refugee or non-refugee artist, academic, activist or art space working at the intersection where forced migration and the arts meet, and you would like to speak as part of the conversation, please let us know through this form.

[3] Forced Migration and The Arts is a global/international network that brings together people with lived experience of forced migration, refugee and non-refugee artists, academics, activists and art spaces from around the world. The network encourages mutual support and collaboration and hosts monthly discussion panels around forced migration and the arts. A playlist of videos of conversations we have had so far is accessible here.
