Finding Home showcases powerful artworks created by asylum-seeking women during workshops in Cambridgeshire. Each piece reflects personal stories of home, inclusion, safety, hope, and survival, emerging through participatory arts that support health and wellbeing. This exhibition gives voice to women who are often marginalised, offering a space to rebuild identity and restore life after trauma and forced migration. Visitors can explore the meaning behind each work and gain insight into the lived experiences of displacement and resilience. The exhibition [Finding Home: an exhibition of art by asylum-seeking women | Cambridge Festival] will open with a community event featuring art work exploring themes of home, citizenship, and the politics of integration.
This event invites community members, supporters, and the public to engage in dialogue about migration, belonging, and creating safer, more inclusive communities. Workshops were run with support from the following local charities: Cambridge Refugee Resettlement Campaign, Oblique Arts and Cambridge Women Resources Centre. Exhibition director Dr Adriana Sandu’s [https://www.aru.ac.uk/people/adriana-sandu] interdisciplinary background focuses on social justice, gender and migration. Adriana has an extensive teaching and research experience in social work and social policy. Her work is influenced by poststructuralist feminist theories, using visual ethnographic and arts-based methods, and she is currently working on gender, identity, inclusion and belonging within migrant communities.
