Created in partnership by People United and Kent Refugee Action Network (KRAN), The Studio is a long-term collaboration which centres young people with first-hand experience of navigating the UK’s asylum system to develop creative producing skills and expertise.

The Studio Producers work collectively, with support from both organisations, to commission new artworks and create meaningful arts participation opportunities for Kent Refugee Action Network members, as a way of inviting new conversations in our divided borderland communities and working towards cultures of belonging across East Kent.
