Channel is Somerset House’s new curated online space for art, ideas and the artistic process.
By exploring positive stories about refugees, we can better empathise with stateless people and understand the privileges of our lives. Giving stateless people a voice to contribute and share stories is crucial in a world that only acknowledges people who ‘belong’ to a state. The Better Shelter allows visitors to get up close to what the reality of a refugee life is like. By sharing a single, powerful story from each partner organisation, and tying them together through a common narrative, visitors will be able to walk through the same emotional states that displaced people go through.
