On my way to London for the launch of the British Academy Summer Showcase. Can't wait to share and hear thoughts about our film https://t.co/R468i1L8fv and hope many will attend the open event on Saturday🙂
On Saturday 17 June, meet the thinkers shaping our world with their social sciences and humanities research through engaging workshops, pop-up talks, film screenings, panel discussions and more as part of our annual Summer Showcase. Book your free place: https://t.co/i90UBxLEeu
It was a pleasure to work on it with such a fantastic team of researchers/creatives/practitioners and, most of all, the families who shared their lives with us 💚
The participatory documentary “When the Dust Settles” will be showing at the Cinema City in Norwich on Monday 19th June at 6:30pm, followed by Q&A, as part of Refugee Week 2023.

The film results from a British Academy funded research project on the lived experience of refugee families post-reunion in the UK, and received support also from the UEA ADR Impact Fund.
Thank you @uniofeastanglia for the attention given to our research with refugee families on their post-reunion lived experience in the UK. Thank you to @togethernowuk for inviting me to go on this journey with you 1/3 https://t.co/LhjzYGmozs
To @kormbat and @Nihaya_jab for forming the most incredible research team, to @developmentuea for hosting the research and to @CreativeUEA_ and @UeaSanctuary for making the photo exhibition and film launch possible 2/3
This cruel and unworkable #AntiRefugeeBill 2 breaks international law and removes people’s rights on a whim. It’ll put people who have fled war and persecution behind bars, placing even more separated families at risk.
We will fight the #AntiRefugeeLaws

"When the Dust Settles" photography exhibition is on until 10/03 at the @uniofeastanglia, showing the fantastic work of the refugee families who participated in our @developmentuea - @togethernowuk research on lived experience post-reunion. And what a wonderful opening last week!
@Sonja_Marzi I have only just seen this - such important work and also how I feel the research process should be. How wonderful to learn more about your research too. I shall be using this in my teaching!🙂
So proud of our @developmentuea students and staff and how wonderful to draw on our research to explore the use of creative methods together. What a fantastic evening trying collage as a way to express some of our development concerns. With thanks to @Pushkinism and @CreativeUEA_
Really looking forward to the launch of 'When the Dust Settles' photography exhibition on Friday 3 March at @uniofeastanglia, and to the other exciting events of UEA Refugee Week! Thank you to @UeaSanctuary and @CreativeUEA_ for all your support to our research 🙏
@togethernowuk@kormbat So many people and places will be missed! I hope this is only the beginning of a fantastic set of collaborations and partnerships.
