Platforma arts and refugee network supports and develops arts by and about refugees. It brings together groups and artists of any background or political status (e.g. refugees and non-refugees), whose work examines the varied experiences of refugees both before and after they arrived and settled in their host country.

Counterpoint was a multi-disciplinary event within the Platforma festival, held at Rochelle School, Club Row, London.

My own piece reflected on the precarious economic reality of refugees, particularly during a global recession.
