MORE INFO
Filmed during the record-breaking refugee movements of 2015, Another News Story goes behind the scenes as director, Orban Wallace, turns the camera in a new direction: the world’s 24-hour news gatherers in pursuit of the breaking story.
British photographer Kate Stanworth’s work focuses on ideas of home and displacement and she works closely with the people she depicts. In her exhibition, Where We Are Now she focusses on individuals who left their homes in Africa and the Middle East to start new lives in Europe. Creating nuanced personal narratives and reflections on migration, Stanworth focuses on the psychological survival techniques migrants use: the re-framing of their stories and the search for metaphors and narratives that help them find purpose through difficult and disorienting times.
