Kilbryde Hospice café to display Migrant Voice art exhibition
The exhibition is part of Kilbryde's continued commitment to Creative Arts in health and wellbeing.
Kilbryde Hospice is hosting an immersive art installation celebrating the voices and experiences of migrants in Scotland.
Running from August 1 to September 5, visitors to Kilbryde Hospice's café in East Kilbride are invited to experience 'Ye Awright, Pal?' - a free powerful and thought-provoking exhibition of original artwork created by over 100 migrants living in and around Glasgow.
The exhibition is delivered in partnership with Migrant Voice, a national, migrant-led organisation, and forms part of their Putting Ourselves in the Picture heritage project, made possible by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
The collection explores personal journeys of migration - stories of moving, settling, connecting with local communities, cultural adaptation, and personal identity.
From moments of hope and gratitude to the challenges of integration, the drawings express a rich tapestry of lived experience.
The exhibition is part of Kilbryde's continued commitment to Creative Arts in health and wellbeing.
Anna Ludwig, creative arts lead at Kilbryde Hospice, said: 'This is such an exciting opportunity to welcome people to the hospice to engage with and contribute to this fantastic art installation.
"We hope people who might not normally visit our café will take this opportunity to pop in for a refreshment whilst taking in the exhibition.'
This exhibition is part of Kilbryde Hospice's ongoing Creative Arts programme, which supports health and wellbeing through artistic expression and inclusive community storytelling.
The programme is generously supported by the Scottish Government's Community Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund.
Thanks go to Marzanna Antoniak, Migrant Voice Glasgow network co-ordinator, for helping bring the exhibition to Kilbryde.
Migrant Voice is a national organisation that empowers migrants to speak for themselves, influence policy, and create a fairer society for all.
Through storytelling, campaigning, and community media, they help shape more inclusive public narratives around migration.
