Young Roots x Art Refuge Film Animation
Film animation project led by Tony Gammidge and Majid Adin / 2023
In collaboration with Art Refuge, several young people supported by Young Roots created film animations documenting their journeys across the English Channel. These animations convey stories that evoke fear, emotion, and resilience.
Art Refuge uses art therapy to support the mental health and well-being of people displaced by conflict, persecution, poverty and climate emergency, in the UK and internationally.
