Communities of Solidarity: The Story of Pikpa Refugee Camp

You are invited to the launch of Communities of Solidarity: The Story of Pikpa Refugee Camp.

This unique book was co-created by a collective of photographers, activists and academics who came together as volunteers via Lesvos Solidarity at Pikpa Refugee Camp. The brilliant photographs of Knut Bry, Yulie Tzirou and young people living in the camp offer an intimate portrayal of everyday life at Pikpa. This rare and beautiful book offers a compelling narrative that invites us to question the ways in which we think about and relate to refugees. It puts forward a provocative argument about the power and practice of solidarity.

Join us for the launch of our book and to hear more about the extraordinary story of Pikpa refugee camp and the making of this book from those directly involved.

This event is part of Who Are We? at Tate Exchange in collaboration with Lesvos Solidarity and The Open University.

Who Are We? at Tate Exchange is an initiative of Counterpoints Arts and The Open University in association with Stance Podcast and the University of York Migration Network. The programme is shaped by co-creation, co-production and exchange among artists, organisations, audiences, activists and academics.
