Sanctuary was an ambitious and thought-provoking project, which aimed to engage the power of contemporary art to explore and address issues relating to human rights and the plight of asylum seekers.

Developed in partnership with Amnesty International and the Scottish Refugee Council, Sanctuary featured a major exhibition that explored concerns such as forced migration, displacement, torture, oppression, identity and concepts of 'home'.

Internationally acclaimed artists exhibited alongside asylum seeker and refugee artists resident in Britain. The exhibition was complemented by a 13 month programme of unique community workshops as well as a selling show to support Amnesty International.
