Dance your Freedom - Exhibition

As part of Pride Month 2024, Micro Rainbow celebrates the creativity of LGBTQI refugees and asylum seekers with its first ever exhibition of dance art made as part of its innovative Body and Movement programme. The programme uses the power of dance to create community, offering a safe space for LGBTQI refugees and asylum seekers to connect with themselves and with others in joyful, supportive ways. "Dance Your Freedom” portrays the creativity that emerges from that community as well as the testimonies of its members as they dance their own emotional healing in new lands. Following a path through graphic artworks, costumes, dance films, audio works and photos, the visitor to the exhibition can witness powerful stories from LGBTQI refugees and asylum seekers as they redevelop a positive relationship with their bodies and themselves. The joy of these inclusive networks is shared through the exhibition as the visitor is invited to take part in dancing the freedom to be ourselves, with safety, confidence and pride. The exhibition's content has been created with LGBTQI refugees, asylum seekers and by a team of Queer artists from across the UK who have led and developed Micro Rainbow’s Body & Movement Programme, funded by Paul Hamlyn Foundation. ~ This is a fully accessible, free to attend exhibition, upstairs at the Norwegian Church Arts Centre.
