At a time of increasing xenophobia, racism & anti-immigrant feeling, many refugees & organisations don’t feel safe to speak out or express themselves through art.

So now is the time for the arts & culture sector to show courage and solidarity. Read our open letter & get involved: buff.ly/syEEMRQ

We're thrilled to reveal the artwork for this year's theme 'Community as a Superpower' illustrated by artist 8bitFaz.

Blending pixels, shapes and minimal colour palettes, 8bitFaz has captured the essence of community building.

Our theme this year for Refugee Week is 'Community as a Superpower'.

As bell hooks says “We can begin the process of making community wherever we are. We can begin by sharing a smile, a warm greeting, a bit of conversation; by doing a kind deed or by acknowledging kindness offered to us.”
