Our Artist Commission project ‘Home’ to be featured on BBC Inside Out South East

Home, a project we delivered in partnership with the Diocese of Canterbury and Ashford Borough Council, saw award-winning textile artist Anna Ray work with a group of recently resettled Syrian women, along with long term Ashford residents, for six months last year.

The project asked the women to consider what ‘home’ means to them and to think about the processes of making a home, feeling at home and how to move home. In addition to making, the women shared food and stories, assisted by translators. The project brought two communities together, crossing language barriers and cultures, through art and creativity!

If you don’t live in the BBC’s South East region there are still plenty of ways to watch: Sky Channel 983, Freesat 959 and you can watch BBC One live on iPlayer (just make sure the region is set to the South East in the bottom corner).
