Six artists show work on the theme of courage for our national Refugee Week billboard campaign

As Refugee Week 2026 begins, we invite everyone to celebrate the courage that lives within us all – join us and take part!

In the this three-part blog series for Counterpoints Arts’ Learning Strand, Zeina Ahmed Ismail traces how creative health, movement and cultural identity shape her work.

Join us on 17th May for the Hackney Half and support our fantastic runners! All funds raised will go towards our work to support the arts by and about refugees and migrants.
