An inspiring two days of talking about displaced arts - thinking about how creative practices can be used to inhabit, expose, navigate or contest global geographies of asylum.

Dire Financial Straits at UoE? NO! β€” UCU Edinburgh Are things really as bad as they say? Find out the truth behind the numbers!
