Voices for hope: Sanctuary x Centre for Sustainable Fashion

Thursday 26 June 2025
10am - 5pm
London College of Fashion, 105 Carpenters Road, E20 2AR

As part of the Centre for Sustainable Fashion Field Day at LCF, Sanctuary in Action will present a powerful programme that highlights creativity, collaboration, and community-building between students, staff, and sanctuary-seeking individuals. This initiative aligns with UAL’s commitment to becoming a University of Sanctuary, integrating refugee voices into the heart of artistic and academic practice.

The Sanctuary in Action showcase will feature 3 impactful projects each exploring themes of migration, resilience, and belonging through participatory art, design, and storytelling.

Please note, this event is by invitation only.
