“Moving Stories: Transitions” is a touring exhibition showcasing the stories of those who have experienced migration in London; those who have travelled and those whose communities, churches and lives have been changed by the movement of others. The exhibition will aim to challenge some of the issues surrounding migration in London, opening the conversation up about the media’s portrayal of migration whilst giving a voice to actual migrants and in the process celebrating what migration brings to London.
