The experience of every refugee artist is different, every challenge is faced individually as well as collectively. Through a programme of inspiring exhibitions, workshops and talks, Hay Castle will host ‘Artistiaid Ffoadur Cymru Refugee Artists’ which will celebrate Welsh stories of hospitality, humanity, and hope through the lens of great art made by refugee artists who have found welcome in Wales from the 1940s to the present day. It will also explore the role that local communities play for those artists seeking refuge.
