Seeing is Believing: stories of forced migration through the lens of creative technologies

Forced migration is by no means a new phenomenon in world history, but it is in the modern world that it is the most visible: new technologies amplify the voices of the marginalised and enable new techniques for engaging these narratives with the public. We were honoured to host our speakers to discuss their work with modern creative technologies to engage with both the legacies and ongoing realities of forced migrations across the globe.
