This thought-provoking exhibition showcases work by University of Chester students exploring themes of sanctuary and the refugee experience. 

Featured artists include Marta, an artist from Ukraine whose vibrant, mixed-media portraits blend traditional and digital techniques to evoke emotion and personal storytelling. Alongside her is a powerful body of artwork created as part of PhD research into the lived experiences of refugee-background students in the Netherlands. Through expressive visuals and personal narratives, the exhibition captures resilience, emotional connection, and systemic challenges, offering a compelling and compassionate insight into displacement, identity, and the search for belonging.
