Journeys Drawn

Exhibited at the House of Illustration
An exhibition telling refugee stories, both observed and experienced first-hand.
This was the first UK exhibition exploring the refugee crisis through illustration. It spotlighted 40 multi-media works by 12 contemporary artists, two of whom are themselves refugees.
The exhibition also included war zone reportage by George Butler from Syria, Olivier Kugler’s digital portraits of refugees arriving on the Greek Island of Kos and Kate Evans’ graphic novel that recounts her experience of volunteering in the Calais Jungle.
