Returning for a second year, Journeys Festival International is back at HOME celebrating the creative talent of exceptional refugee and asylum seeker artists, and sharing refugee experiences through great art and culture.

Join us as we share and celebrate the incredible talent and stories of refugee and asylum seeker artists who now call Manchester home.
