Displaced Arts: Creative Practices and Geographies of Asylum Symposium hosted by the Institute for Adanced Studies in the Humanities (IASH), University of Edinburgh, 24th June 2025.
How have creative practices been used to inhabit, expose, navigate or contest global geographies of asylum in the twenty-first century? This interdisciplinary symposium will explore the potential of arts – including literature, life-writing, storytelling, poetry, community theatre, photography, and film – to illuminate geographies of asylum which have been reshaped by increasingly securitised border regimes, narratives of a ‘refugee crisis’, and a rapidly growing asylum-industrial complex.
