Migrant Puppets

In this project I worked together with SOLA ARTS ,a community arts project mainly working with refugees and asylum seekers, based in Liverpool.

With two participants of the project I wrote down their personal stories about their journeys from their home countries to the UK. Incorperating their emotions they went through to how they see and feel themselves today within the UK.


The two puppets showcase not only the two individuals but also their cultural and spiritual origin. Within this audio visual installation the audience could listen to the stories via headphones and follow their journey on the world map. Understanding and connecting to the individual backgrounds, circumstances and life stories.


The project was part of several exhibitions including the Exhibition 'This is Home' in the Stone Space Gallery in Leytonstone, London.
