Journeys Festival International
Journeys Festival International celebrates the creative talent of exceptional refugee and asylum seeker artists and shares the refugee experience through great art.
The festival takes place annually in the cities of Leicester, Manchester and Portsmouth. It explores the refugee experience through a whole range of free arts activities including live music, hands-on artist-led workshops, theatre, performance, film, discussion, exhibitions, storytelling, pop-up events and more!
Journeys Festival International aims to bring the talent of local, national and international refugee artists to the general public - creating a positive interface with the community.
We are constantly evolving and looking to develop partnerships with more artists, organisations, refugee & asylum seeker support services and sponsors. We strive to create more opportunities for artists, members of the communities we connect with and collaborations within our local, national and international networks.
