Many people seeking asylum live in an indefinite period of transition. Unable to start new lives, which have so desperately been sought, and
unable to return to their own countries, they are forced to exist on the fringes of society. They often live with mental health issues stemming from conflict or torture and face the constant threat of detention or deportation. There will be an official opening at 6pm on Thursday 9 June with talks from Scottish Refugee Council and Robert Ormerod. Robert will be available to discuss his works from 4pm that day. Info:
