Our Journey CONFERENCE: Exploring migrant stories through multimedia and the arts

 

Scroungers, con-artists, benefit tourists… sections of the media think they’ve got immigrants sussed. But migrants themselves tell a different story.
 
This year Migrants Resource Centre ran two projects - My Journey and BEAMS - which used arts and multimedia to explore migrant stories and challenge stereotypes. Now we want to share what we have learned.

Join us for a day of talks and practical workshops by media and arts professionals hosted by participatory photography experts PhotoVoice:

 

* Learn how to tell your own story through a range of different media
* Get expert guidance on running a participatory media/ arts project in your own community or organisation

---

Spaces are limited for this event, and booking is required for both the morning and afternoon sessions (you are welcome to attend both). The conference is free and includes lunch and a drinks reception in the evening. We can refund travel costs within London.
