Tell us a Journey

Dotted lines criss-cross a map of the world spread out across the floor tracing migration routes across time and space. From Oceania to Madagascar in 1000 AD, and Syria to Turkey in 2016, this unique map-making performance-installation considers the push and pull factors of global migration - from the personal to the political - and invites you to add your own story to the map.

We were very pleased to create The Journeys in collaboration with Stand and Be Counted Theatre, the UK’s first Theatre Company of Sanctuary, for Migration Matters and then Caravan International Showcase in Brighton. Once again, we are gathering stories to put on the map during the performance, and we’d love to hear yours.

We asked, 

Do you have a migration to tell us about? It could be yours, your family’s, your friend’s. It could be recent, it could be historical. It could be short - just the starting point and the destination - it could be a long, detailed story. We’re particularly interested in the route of the journey, when it happened, and who it was who travelled - but of course we would love to hear anything else you want to tell us. We’ll try to trace the route onto our world map during the performance.

People emailed their journeys, or gave them to us during the performance, and they found their way onto the map.
