Sanctuary is an exhibition of photographs by Jonathan Turner of Lens Lab Project and members of the Welcome House Photoclub.
Sanctuary documents activities centred around Welcome House, including Acorn FC, and Photoclub; two organisations providing support and friendship for those seeking refuge here in the UK, whilst navigating the complexities of the refugee and asylum process. The work also features a number of portraits of asylum seekers and refugees, alongside their personal stories.
Set against a backdrop of last summer’s riots the exhibition seeks to offer a reassurance of refuge in this City of Sanctuary.
Sanctuary is produced by Lens Lab Project, curated by Benedict Phillips and commissioned by Humber Street Gallery with additional support from Welcome House.
