We can all hear the ongoing noise of fear and division.
This refugee week’s theme is courage. Courage in the face of this all too familiar noise and courage through community.
Everyone deserves to feel safe and mentally healthy, particularly those who have risked everything to find it. We are proud to support those seeking sanctuary in our city on their journey to better mental health.
This week we are honoured to bring you a continuation of our Asylum World in a Frame exhibition, this will be displayed in the foyer of City Hall between 16 and 18 June 2026, from 10am to 4pm. Through photography and personal storytelling, they have captured moments of challenge, uncertainty, connection, and joy — offering perspectives on life in the asylum system that are too often unheard. These are their stories.
This exhibition was created in collaboration with , Hope Service, BRASP members, including Pride Without Borders, and led by our Lived Experience Advocates alongside artist Aida Silvestri.
