Drop in to experience a newly commissioned work by artists Basel Zaraa and Tania El Khoury about the health experiences of refugees. This performance will use painting, touch and sound to connect you with the emotional and mental health hardships faced by people in detention centres and will evolve over the weekend.
We’ll be in the Atrium, which is just inside the entrance to Wellcome Collection on level 0.
Just turn up to this event. It's likely to have room for everyone.
