This is Not a Chance Encounter – Guided Tour

Book your free place at the tour here.

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

On 14 August at 2.00pm, you’re invited to join lead artist Betül Aksu as we explore the exhibition together on a guided tour.

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.
