This is Not a Chance Encounter

This is Not a Chance Encounter is an outdoor exhibition that showcases the work of nine international artists.

The work explores what it means to work with immigration stories for art projects. The exhibition has been created by young artists from across Europe as part of the Liberty EU programme, inviting audiences to explore the artists’ lived immigration experiences alongside stories of young refugees and asylum seekers in the UK.

Access:

This is an exhibition across multiple locations in the public realm of the city centre, so largely fully accessible. If you have any concerns over access or need to request some additional provisions to assist you in attending this exhibition, please contact Lisa@artreach.org.uk
